Heres the scenario:


System is windows 7 Pro 64bit. Local printer has a Dell V313 printer connected via USB.

Server is Windows 2003 R2, when I remote dekstop into it the printer shows up but I cannot print to it. I installed both 32bit and 64bit drivers but no go.

Its my bosses PC at his home and hes driving me nuts with this. I checked firewall and router and nothing is blocking this. Any ideas?

The Drivers as to be installed as Network Printer on All Networked computers that suppose to be able to use the printer.

The printer is local to the guys home from where he RDPs into the network. Printer is showing up as installed on the RDP host.

Yes it will show on the Network, but it would not print if the Computer that have the material to print on does not have the Drivers (it has to do with preparing the Printing Spooling).

If it is impossible to do so copy through the Network the files to be printed to the Remote computer that has the printer connected to it and then print locally.
