Hello

I have a question that I know has a simple answer but I cannot figure it out. I am trying to print from a WIN98 & 2000 client running terminal service 2000 client. The network printer does not show even though I have it installed on the Terminal service server.

The setup:
SBS 2000 running terminal services
terminal service licensing is activated
SP2
WIN 98SE & WIN 2K Pro SP2 clients

I think this may be a problem.

I am running the SBS2000 for testing purposes for one of our clients. The 2000 server is on our SBS4.5 network in a different domain. Since the client is logged on to SBS4.5 and only connecting to SBS2000 using terminal, would this cause a problem?

The printer is connected to a Linksys Print server. The printer is setup on the SBS2000 by network share from the SBS4.5.

I have tried mapping the printer on the client side. I read a document found on here about installing the printer locally and connecting it to a TSxxx port. This port option never comes up. I have tried finding the port using printer set up on the client, the server and from running terminal services. I have tried using the "net use lpt..." command.

You have several Problems:
1.)SBS (4.5/2000) does not have security interaction with other domains !
2.)with SBS you could not establish a Trust to another DOmain. per design NOT.

This means with an SBS User Account you will not be able to use ressources from an other Domain ! unliky no Printer, File etc. access !
MS doesn't recomends to have more then one SBServer in the same Network ! Test your SBS2000 in an Lab-Environment !

Install the Printer on the SBS2000 and update your Client-Licence from sbs4.5 to sbs2000. Test the functionalties in the Labe environment.

Thanks for the response, but my problem was in the registry from a previously loaded printer that was on the other domain. I agree that you shouldn't have the two SBS's on the same network also, but It did work. All I needed to do was delete a Linksys print server registry entry from SBS2000. After which Terminal had problem printing.
