Hi Russ!

If your user is using the RDC software from Microsoft, then she's probably
out of luck with the type of printer she's using.

Printing requires a Postscript capable printer be attached to the Mac before
the Windows server will be able to recoginize it.

You can read more by reading the Help menu for RDC.

Hope this helps! bill
