Hoping someone can help. I have a laptop running Windows Vista home premium and a desktop running Windows XP. An HP deskjet 450 printer is connected to the laptop via a usb port. The printer properties on the laptop show that the printer is using the DOT4 port. Everything prints fine if I am working locally.
I can successfully connect remotely to the desktop and run all programs I need to. However, I cannot send anything from the remote computer to my local printer.
I confirmed that the printer option is activated in the local devices configuration for the remote desktop connection on the local machine. I also ran the fix it for me app from within this post. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;302361#FixedAlways
But still the local computer is not showing up when I am in a remote desktop connection session. Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
