146695 2003-05-25 21:00:00 Try faking a Local printer using the network printers address

fire up a command prompt type

net use lpt2 \\"servername"\"printer share name"
then run printer setup and new local printer using port lpt2 install drivers.

And see if that works

if this works put it in a bat file located in the startup directory

Cheers

146697 2003-05-25 22:50:00 1. attach a local printer to lpt1. TS support this directly.

2. net use to trick TS that u got a local printer. the old traditional way to do it for a newtwork printer

3. there is another high tech solution, if the other machine is behind a router, u can do port forwarding 9100 to the network printer. this also requires a static ip address. and some setup on the TS server side. besides, u may also disable some printer auto mapping. this will cost you more.

look like plenty of choice,

good luck
