Hi, how can I print locally data from a remote host using XP Pro on both PCs and Remote Desktop over a VPN connection. I noticed on the client PC I still have printers from a remote host but I forgot how to configure printing locally except Remote Desktop\Options\Local resources\Printers. I need to print locally from a different Remote Desktop PC.

Help.

Thanks,

When you setup the RDP connection on client PC, (or edit an old one) you set it on the 'local resources' tab. There is a place to set the devices to use in the connection. Printers is one.
I'm looking at the new screen in SP3. But its been there in some form in older versions.
Also, there was a bug (or I call it one) in XP SP2, that you could not use a printer on the client during a RDP connection that is not LPT1, COM, or USB.
ie, My laptop does not have a printer. So I share one on my desktop in the house. Now when I connect to the office, I can't see that printer on my laptop. There is a registry patch to fix that situation, but SP3 might have fixed it. Not sure.

I think this addresses the issue. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/302361/en-us

Or if you want just copy these lines to a file called remote.reg and then double click it, and it will install for you. Everything between the ----'s
