Currently, I have Terminal Server set up at a remote location. I am running terminal services on my laptop at my office. Is there anyway to run a terminal service session, create a document on the terminal server, then print that document to my laptop printer (which is a network printer, not a local printer)? The Terminal Server is Windows 2000 and my laptop is Windows 2000.

if you add it you can have the option to print to it .

The easiest way is to run TCP/IP protocol, setup your printer with an ip address, install the printer on your term server and have it print to a TCP/IP port.

The only way that I have gotten remote printing to work with TS is to load the same printer and driver on the server as the one you are printing to,. It must also be the default printer on the TS server. Hope this helps.
