W2K TS Client USB Printer

Terminal server only redirects Default printers to the LPT port and not to the USB port. I believe there is no way to make it work with a USB port. Maybe Citrix can do that for you.

There is a Resource Kit tool called Drmapsrv.exe that will configure Net Use entries for a Terminal Services user.
"DrMapSrv is a Terminal Services command-line tool that configures NET SHARE and NET USE client drives for Terminal Services server access. Drive Share is used with Terminal Services. When the Terminal Services client is a computer, Drive Share maps all client local drives into the Terminal Server session. This means that the user will be able to directly interact with drives on both the local and remote computer from within the Terminal Server Client program"

I am not able to test this to see if it would work for you (don't have a USB printer) but it sounds like it lets you connect to local resources on the client system.So, maybe it will let you connect from the TS connection to the local machine USB printer.

This tool is a free download from Microsoft:

Hope this helps.
