Hello all! I have lurking here for quite a while and woudl like to start
by saying I have really learned a lot from all of you. Thank you for
that. 
 
I am relative newbie to Terminal Services and have made some promises I
am having trouble delivering on. My greatest stumbling block is remote
printing. I have a client that I am configuring this TS for and he has
remote offices of 10 or so users that will be connecting over a WAN. I
have 1 workgroup printer in each office and a couple of users will have
local printers. My original thinking was to have the workgroup printer
connected via Jet Direct in the remote office but this can change if
necessary.
 
Currently each remote office has a "server" that has the printer
connected via LPT1 and is shared. The other system are printing to that
shared printer. If I connect to the TS the printer gets created
correctly and prints in this configuration. I tried connecting the
printer to a Jet Direct box and connect to the TS the printer does not
get created. 
 
What is the best way for me to accomplish this? Can you point me to some
documentation that may assist me? 
 
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
