William,
Yes, I have the same printer (an HP1160) installed on both XP1 and XP2 and
the drivers for the HP1160 installed on the 2003 server. XP1 has no
problem
with remote printing to it's HP1160 when connected to the 2003 server.
XP2
cannot see it's local HP1160 when connected to the 2003 server. The RDP
setup is the same on both XP1 and XP2 as far as sharing local resources
go.

I don't understand what you are saying....

It seems you have 3 PCs - a 2003 Server and 2 XP PCs (lets call them XP1
and
XP2).

I think you are saying that you have, on the 2003 Server, installed the
printer drivers for a printer connected to one of the XP PCs. Let's say
the
printer is connected to XP1.

For XP1 (the one that the printer is connected to) you should be able to
connect to the 2003 Server via RDP and see the printer on the local XP1.

Are you saying that you cannot see the XP1 printer when you connect to
the
2003 Server from XP2? Remember that RDP only shares the local printers
of
the local PC. If the printer is attached to XP1, that's the PC that will
share it.

How do you have your printer (the one whose drivers you installed on the
2003 Server) connected to XP1 and XP2?

I've already installed the drivers on the remote computer which happens
to
be
a Windows 2003 server. I can access the printer remotely from one
computer
running XP SP1 but can's access the printer remotely from another
computer,
also running XP.
Thanks!

To make a local printer accessible on a remote desktop using RDP, you
must
first install the printer drivers for the local printer on the remote
desktop.

I.E : If you are at home and have an Epson Stylus C88 printer attached
to
your home PC, and you connect to your work PC using Remote Desktop -
you
must have the drivers for the Epson Stylus C88 installed on your work
PC
and
have "Printers" box checked under to "Local Resources" tab of your RDP
connection to your work PC in order to see the Epson Stylus C88 on
your
work
PC.

Install the correct printer drivers (no need to actaully install a
printer)
and reconnect to the remote PC with "Printers" box checked under the
"Local
Resources" tab of your RDP connection and you should see your printer.

Microsoft never has really addressed this issue in the documentation
AFAIK.
Its' not that its broken, its just that this was never really
explained
to
the end user in a simple to understand way.
