Question : Problem: How do you setup printing to local printer when using RDP to access Windows Server 2003?

I have clients that use Remote Desktop to access their Windows Server 2003 computers. Some have no problem printing to their local printers because they autocreate. Others cannot print to their local printers. We've done the simple things like making sure that they select 'Printers' on the 'Local Resources' tab of the Remote Desktop Connection client. We've installed the driver for the printer on the server. Does anyone have a consistent solution that we can use?

Answer : Problem: How do you setup printing to local printer when using RDP to access Windows Server 2003?

Are you installing the exact same printer driver on the server that is on the client?

Additionally there is a known issue with USB printers that install a DOT 4 printer port type. These are often multifunction printers. They do not autocreate properly without a reg-heck.
