OK I finally had time to think and play around a little more. I have
a Windows 2003 Server in my office. It has the same TCP/IP connection
to the HP 4050 PS that my laptop has. I use Remote desktop client
from my server after configuring local resources to connect disk
drives and printers.
The next screen was a warning that only the disk drives would be
connected. After the session started I looked at the printers on TS
server I had remoted to and there were all my local printers, even
ones that I did not install the print drivers for on the TS Server.
I sent a test page through the remote client to the 4050 and it
printed at my office. So something is messed up on my laptop.
Also I saw a 1111 error for the Microsoft Fax.
This being said, any ideas how to fix the laptop.
Thanks
Ron
