Re: Printing Problems with Remote Desktop

Hi,

Yes, but if your local printer is set up properly, and the remote machine is
set up properly, the driver installation should be done by the remote
machine using default WinXP-supplied drivers (meaning you shouldn't have to
do anything). You will not have full printer functionality, like the tools,
but printing should be fine. More on this:
