Hi Guys

Does anybody know if it is possible to map a network printer through a terminal server session?

We have a windows 2003 server at the office and remote users connect to it from a terminal server session. One of the remote users has a network printer on their network and wants to print locally to it from the TS session.

It works on a local printer and the ip address on the network printer is on a different subnet.

Thanks a lot.
 
Hi Kirby
It's simple remote user have to share the printer on his computer (and give rights to submit printing for terminal user or for guest). On termianl make login script or batch with printer mappings, example:

net use lpt1: \\ip_adress_remote_user_machine\share_name_of_printer

or if you don give corect rights to print on printer yo can add:

net use lpt1: \\ip_adress_remote_user_machine\share_name_of_printer /user:remote_user_name password_remote_user


After it install in terminal sesion corect printer on LPT1:

or setting up a host record in DNS where the TS can see it?
