Thanks Guy,

I followed the steps you gave me and the printer is working fine now.
But one think confused me though. When you said click on "Options" after
launching the client.
could you direct me where can I find that option? that could help me to
find out more about my local drives which I can see now. As client I use
RDP (remote desktop connection) should i install another client?

Thanks again,
Jack

Jack,
RDP printing does not require licensing. In most cases, it simply
requires that the server have the required drivers for the printer and
that printer redirection be abled in the RDP client upon connection.

Drivers can be added to the server by installing the printer as an LPT
printer and then deleting the printer object (the driver stays
installed). Client redirection configuration is configured by clicking
the 'Options' button after launching the client and configuring the
'Local Resources' tab.

We have Win2003 Enterprise server. I access to the server through
remote desktop connection with administrator's account. We don't have
any licenses for TS nor the company is planning to buy one at this time.
My question is can I print from the server to my local printer through
RDP? If this is possible can someone help me to set-it up?

Thanks in advance,

Jack
