Need help printing over Terminal Services!

[sohcrates]

My mom connects via terminal services to her computer at work so she can work out of the home

I had given her my old parallel port Canon printer years ago, and she was able print locally just fine (connect to work computer, open up a word document, and print it locally)

I bought here a color photo printer recently that's USB...apparently, you can't print locally over terminal services via a USB printer though.....

Once i found that out, i re-attached the parallel port printer (so now BOTH a usb and a parallel printer are attached)

BUT, terminal services doesn't see ANY local printers anymore...only printers that show up are networked printers in her office.

Any ideas on how to get a local printer added again?

Thanks

try disconnecting the USB printer before connecting via TS.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried that but still no-go

Guess i'll just uninstall all USB stuff and keep only parallel printer on that machine...see if i can at least get it back to the way it was!

That is...unless someone else has some more suggestions

Thanks
