Uhhh, Microsoft...

Printers attached to LPT and COM ports on the client (local) computer can be manually redirected, although manual redirection of printers connected through USB ports is not supported.

To manually redirect a client printer, contact your administrator and provide the name of your computer (or IP address for a Windows-based Terminal). The client must be connected to the remote computer during manual redirection.

After the initial manual redirection, printers will be automatically redirected during subsequent logons.

Just a little note here... The administrator may be the one reading the help file.

I don't think Microsoft ever assumes the Admin is reading it's help files.

No, I mean that the administrator has NFI how to do what to do with the information they've just been handed.
