MORE INFORMATION

The server you are connecting to may have Windows Printer Mapping disabled, but, you can still map your client LPT ports. In this scenario, you can gain access to your local printers after you manually add them.

To manually add a client-attached printer, perform the following steps from within your Terminal Services client session:

1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Printers.



2. Double-click Add Printer.



3. Click Local printer, click to clear the Automatically detect and install my Plug and Play printer check box, and then click Next.



4. Under Port Selection, you see several ports named TSxxx. These are client mapped ports. Click the port that corresponds to your client computer's name and port, and then click Next.



5. Continue to follow the instructions on your screen to complete the printer installation.
