From what I can find, printing on a local printing while using RDP is a valid option. Under the “options” tab of the Remote Desktop Connection program, “local resources” and “printers” are checked.
According to MS they should be automatically added to the available printers. I tried this, but noticed no local printers, only those on the remote box, since I was using an XP Home box, I switched over to an XP Pro box. Same thing, no new printers.
Am I missing something here? Remote box is XP Pro SP2.
Thanks!
