Hi,
Redirected printers are not meant to be shared. They are "transient" or "temporary" and will get deleted when Client 1 disconnects or logs off.
You have to share the physical printer from Client 1 directly, and not attempt to share from the remote session.
The method you mentioned below works because data is sent to the port and since your virtual printer on the server was assigned the redirected port, it was sending data to the printer attached to Client 1.
This method is not recommended. Redirected ports are assigned randomly to every remote session, so every time the virtual printer on the server has to be re-mapped.
Please share the printer on Client 1 machine and print on the shared printer from Client 2, without involving TS or redirected printers in the picture.
Please refer to these blogs for more details:

I say that as it seems incredibly clunky but I sure could not find anything
about it Googling.
Environment is WS2008, 'Client 1' is Vista x64 PC with 'HP LaserJet 3055'
printer attached (called 'HP LaserJet 3055 PCL5' with 'HP LaserJet 3055 PCL5'
driver, 'Client 2' is XP SP2 (no printer attached).
1. Added a printer on WS2008 called 'HP LaserJet 3055 PCL5' with 'HP
LaserJet 3055 PCL5' driver. ( not physically - just an Action/Add Printer)
2. Everytime 'Client 1' logs on OR reconnects they go to ''HP LaserJet 3055
PCL5/Properties/Ports' and assign its port to be the SAME PORT AS THE PORT
ASSOCIATED WITH THE REDIRECTED PRINTER.
3. 'Client 2' (within the session) has ''HP LaserJet 3055 PCL5" printer as
their default printer and never have to touch this.
4. 'Client 1' can print from either printers but of course will print from
the default redirected printer.
'Client 2' can in fact be many TS clients at this remote site.
OK so this works - but surely there must be a better way.
