The only way I know of is to share the local printer out and then map it in
the users session.

I may be wrong (and I'm sure I'll soon hear if I am) but I don't think TS
offers client drive mapping. I'm not even 100% sure it'll redirect the
printer port.

I'm looking for advices on using local printers a drives of client =
machines which connect through both TSweb and the TSClient.

All users connect from home to the network using VPN.  The user that I =
am testing needs to print to his local printer which is an Epson C80 and =
is attached to his local LPT1 port.  The user is on Windows XP.  The =
user also need to access both his floppy drive and his CD drive through =
the terminal session.

I've read that the drives need to be shared on the client PC and then =
mapped to from the terminal session.  This is going to pose a problem =
considering that we don't let users map drives from a terminal session.

I think I remember Citrix Metaframe automatically mapping the user's =
local drives upon connection.  Is there a way to do this with just =
Terminal Services 2000?

Thanks,
Casey
