Windows Forum / Windows XP / Remote Desktop / December 2007Remote Desktop/local printers
I have a notebook at a remote office that connects to main office via pair of VPN routers. Local printers on remote notebook appear in printer list when connected to 1 XP Pro box in main office but not when connected to another XP Pro box at main office. Local printer (remote) in question is attached to a desktop at the remote office and served by it. Suggestions to have local printers appear on 1st main office XP box?? Thanks in advance. Are they the same printer? Or check this post, Solved: TCP/IP printer is not ...thou remote desktop. The problem is, the printer is only mapped when using LPT and not mapped using a local tcp/it port. I do not have a local print ... www.chicagotech.net/netforums/viewtopic.php?p=203&sid=9b5ac30725a7c407aaae18a980 a7ef7c Bob Lin, MS-MVP, MCSE & CNE Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Troubleshooting on http://www.ChicagoTech.net How to Setup Windows, Network, VPN & Remote Access on http://www.HowToNetworking.com I have a notebook at a remote office that connects to main office via pair of VPN routers.

Same printer. Notebook in remote office and in same remote office LAN is a desktop that has printer attached via LPT1 port. Notebook prints to this printer fine on the LAN. This notebook connects across VPN (IPSec tunnel) to desktop A in main office Remote Desktop and sees no local printers. Same notebook connects to desktop B in same LAN as desktop A and does successfully see the local printer mentioned above. > Are they the same printer?

Q: Is this so that I am able to print something from the PC to my local printer via remote?
