Printing from a app in Terminal server

[rphips]

Hello again

I haven't touched a terminal server in so long that I forgot everything about them, so now I have a problem.

I have private users who access the terminal server through the internet. They get thier desktop and security settings but they cannot print from the application or terminal server. The only reason we use TS is cause it is an old DOS application.

How do I set up thier printers so they can print from a application through a terminal server to thier local printer?

Stars to anyone who can help cause I am going crazy

If it is an old DOS application then it probably does not support Windows printing. You probably would need to redirect the LPT to a Windows printing device (which Terminal Services should map back to the user's local printer). I don't recall the exact syntax since I haven't used it in ages, but something like:

NET USE LPT1 \\servername\printername
