I have a workstation that has to be able to print. But the Workstation is connected to a remote machine via VPN due to the place where it stands is on another domain/network than the one that our applications run on.

On the site where the machine is theres network printer, and its added to the machine outside the Remote Desktop Connection, but I can't get it to work through the Remote desktop.
The option under "local resources" that allows local printers to be used via the remote desktop is flagged, and the drivers is installled on the remote computer.

I have a feeling that its because the printer is sat up as a Network printer, so I wonder if theres anyway to redirect the Networkprinter to a "non-existant" LPT port so that the remote desktop will take it as a local printer, or if theres any other way of doing this I will be happy to know how since i have about 40 clients this has to work on.

The printer is a Lexmark T644.

Is this remote machine a terminal server, or a workstation you are RDP'ing into?

Perhaps this is a group policy setting that can be turned off. I received that message before, about how doPDF could not print because of the Terminal Services session or something like that.
