VPN cannont print over network

[jakechaffee]

Hopefully i can explain this right. I have tunnel setup that connects 192.168.1.0 to a 192.168.100.0 network. From the 100 network there is a computer that RDP's into the 1 network for a program. On the 1 network computer that they RDP to there is a printer that is back at the 100 networks office. When they try to print it wont work.

When i try to view properties of the printer is says "Printer properties cannot be displayed. The print spooler service is not running."

I have checked the spooler on this computer and it is running.
Any ideas?

Looks like it is trying to print from the machine used to connect to the VPN, not the computer that is RDC'd into...I think...
What are you using to connect to the VPN? Built-in Windows client? If so, check tcp/ip advanced settings for the VPN connection (double-click the VPN connection icon when connected), and check to see if the connection is set to use the gateway of the local computer or the remote VPN gateway.

I am using to Sonicwall TZ170's setup in main mode. The printer was attached locally to the computer on the 100 network and its spooler service was working like charm too. I just got frustrated enough to uninstall the share printer and reinstall both of them locally using TCP/IP port since they networked already. Works liek chamr now but i wish i could of figured out that error.

Thanks for reply Burt.
