Read something like this … “In order to print to a server based printer the print spooler must also be running on the client” … time to experiment … It is the same with a Remote Desktop session and a locally attached printer?
Did an experiment, I used Remote Desktop from a Window 7 machine to a Windows 7 VM. Remote Desktop is setup allow the remote session to use the local printer.
Succeeded in printing from notepad on the remote machine to the redirected LaserJet on my local machine.
Shut down the spooler on the remote session with
net stop spooler
and tried to print from notepad got this error and
everything disappeared the from Select Printer except Add Printer
restarted using net start spooler
all the printer came back.
Remote/Shared printing … the spooler must be running on both machines not just the box the printer is plugged into.
