Re: I can't see the client printer.

That is the wrong version. It's for XP Embedded.
 
The 5.2 client is no longer available on the MS site for some reason.  It is on the Windows 2003 CD.
 
 
Here is a message from an MSFT tech concerning this issue.  It pretty much covers all of the issues.
 
I understand properly, when you remote desktop to the Windows 2003
terminal server the local TCP/IP printer is not redirected. There is no
Event 1111 in the event log.

Before we go any further, I would like to confirm which remote desktop
client you used to connect to the terminal server. Did you use the remote
desktop client included in Windows XP? Based on my research, TCP/IP
printers are not redirected by default on Windows XP; while they are
redirected on Windows Server 2003. For Windows XP client, you can refer to
the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article to add the FilterQueueType
registry value to FFFFFFFF on Windows XP client to force all printer ports
to be redirected:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server
Client\Default\AddIns\RDPDR\FilterQueueType
(DWORD) 0xFFFFFFFF

For more information, please refer to the following Microsoft Knowledge
Base article:
Printers That Use Ports That Do Not Begin With COM, LPT, or USB Are Not
Redirected in a Remote Desktop or Terminal Services Session
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=302361

Meanwhile, you can download and install the Remote Desktop Connection
client for Windows Server 2003 on the Windows XP computer to test this
issue. It can be installed from the
"%systemroot%\system32\clients\tsclient\win32" folder on a Windows Server
2003 computer.

Dose it work now? If this problem continues, please refer to the following
steps to check if the port is redirected correctly.

1. Open the Control Panel->Printers folder in the Terminal Session.
2. Click File->Server Properties.
3. Click the Ports tab and check if the TSxxx port is created for the
printer.

In addition, please check the event log on the terminal server to see
whether you receive any error messages and ensure the following items:

1. You must enable the printer redirection on the RDP client. (You have
done it.)

2. You must enable the printer redirection on the terminal server.
Start => Terminal Services Configuration => Connetions => Double click on
"RDP-TCP", click "client settings", and make sure the following check boxes
had NOT been checked in the "disable the following" tab:

Windows Printer Mapping
LPT port Mapping
COM port Mapping
