My printers were randomly showing up and at times refusing to install
despite being listed in the active directory. In my case the problem was
related to renaming my computer.
I had a mobo failure so I rebuilt the computer and re-installed Windows XP.
I gave the computer the same name it had under the old motherboard. After
doing so I could list my printers in the active directory but no one could
install them or even view their properties. Shutting off my firewalls made
no difference. On a hunch, I tried deleting the computer name from the
server directory. I expected it to discover the computer on next login and
re-add it. It refused to do so. I renamed the computer and everything got
happy again - no more printer problems.

We are using Vista Business to remotely connect to XP and Server 2003 RDP
5.x and 6 clients.
On the local PC, we have a network printer that is connected via a
standard tcp/ip port along with a few other printers. We have the RDP
client setup to allow the remote client to print to the local printers.
However, only sometimes does the local printer show up on the remote
machine. Also, never does the local network printer shoe up on the remote
machine.
That said, sometimes the ts000X printer ports will show as active. In
that situation, we can setup the proper print driver and play a guessing
game until we find the proper ts000X port. Durring that session, printing
works fine. However, on the next connect, the TS ports may be
disconnected or re-arranged, even when the client only has one printer.
Any suggestions would be apriciated. Thank you.
