Is it a username/password/admin issue?

Have your user accounts the appropraite permissions in active directory on the remote server to add printers to it?
And does the local network accept the authority of your remote server account to access the printer on it?

so wait let me get this straight when users are printing remotley (using rdp) the print jobs print locally at the ts server site...?

is that a correct assessment of your problem?

If I am understanding you correctly, then perhaps this will work.

When you bring up the remote desktop connection dialog box, click "options", then highlight the "local resources" tab, then select "printers". After that, connect normally. This will work in *some* circumstances. It really depends upon your exact setup.
