Ok, so I'm trying to remote desktop into a Windows Server 2003 domain server using Vista Ultimate x64. I had some initial problems setting up the login for the correct domain, but that's been rectified. However, I still have a problem that I can't seem to resolve. I've got our network printer setup on my computer and it works fine from Windows. But if I connect through RDP to the server, the printer isn't carried over, even though I checked the option to bring local printers to the remote desktop. I know in XP and 2000 I had to edit HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\Default\AddIns\RDPDR and add a FilterQueueType key to make the remote session see my printer. I tried to create that same key under Vista, but it didn't fix the problem. Any suggestions?

Go to the PC where the printer is installed on and try adding Vista's drivers...

is the vista machine part of the domain? have you loaded 2003 drivers for the printer?

The printer is an HP LaserJet 1300 networked through a JetDirect. All our computers here at work are connected to our server through a VPN firewall. None of our computers are actually "on the domain", but they are on the same network as the domain server through the VPN.

*EDIT*
After checking the XP computers, I discovered that we have to run the PCL6 drivers in order for the printer to work through RDP. However, the only option I have for Vista and this printer is the PCL5 drivers. I wonder if this isn't the problem.

Doesn't look like that was the problem after all. I went back and looked for PCL6 drivers for Vista, and found them. But even after loading them up, it still doesn't work. Any suggestions?

Hello

We are having a similar issue. there are 2 of us at our office using Vista Ultimate. one using 64-bit and the other 32-bit. the 32-bit laptop can connect to the printer fine but the 64-bit cannot access the ip address of the printer

Any assistance would be greately appreciated

@hchant
Your issue is a different one. You can't even connect to the printer. I can connect, but can't access it through RDP.

@all
I still haven't been able to find a solution to this. Is there no one who has come across this problem that has any ideas? Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but this is still ongoing and I need to find a solution. Currently, I have to use another computer to actually print anything through Terminal Services.
