My company works with a lot of smaller clients in the medical industry. Many of the clients have remote offices with 1 or 2 client stations. They want to use Win2K Terminal services to attach to the main site. This part has not been an issue. The issue we have had is with printing. I know about Citrix, we use it for our larger clients. I know about Thinprint as well but it has a hefty price tag as well. Are there any means to setup clean printing through Terminal server? Any help would be appreciated.

TS will print as long as the user has a printer attached to lpt1 and that the printer drivers for that exact printer is installed on the terminal server.

try it.

We use Terminal services and print at the remote sites. Easiest setup is when the printer is attached to LPT1. As previously mentioned both the remote PC and the Terminal server must have the exact same drivers for the printer otherwise it won't be seen by the remote PC. We also are able to print to shared network printers but this gets a bit tricky. See Microsoft article Q264039 for using the NET USE command to redirect remote network printing. Good luck
