I have a HP all in one USB printer and I would like to print to it from
Terminal Server. I have done some research and tried to install the drivers
in the server but this still does not work. Does anyone have any ideas on how
to get this is work?

Thanks
 
Which OS on the server?
And on the client?
Which HP printer model?
Is the printer autocreated in the session, but it won't print (if
so, what is the error message you get when you try to print), or
is the printer not autocreated at all?
Which Events do you get in the EventLog on the TS?
Which port does the printer use on the client? If it's a DOT4
port, check this:

302361 - Printers That Use Ports That Do Not Begin With COM, LPT,
or USB Are Not Redirected in a Remote Desktop or Terminal Services
Session
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=302361

Note that installing 3rd party printer drivers on a TS is *not*
recommended. Some of these drivers are known to crash your printer
spooler or the TS completely.
HP's all-in-one printers are in general not supported on a TS.
