That's where using Kix and CON2PRT would work nicely. TS won't autocreate
client printers for you like Citrix will.

That was my original intention. Let me clarify by saying that I do not
have Citrix, only Win2k TS.
I have setup TCP printing on the client to print to the printer and
locally that works fine. When the user connects to the TS the printer
does not get created in the TS session and they cannot print.

After reading this thead I see that you want to eliminate server at the
remote location and your printer at remote location is on JetDirect.
At the end of the day you still need to spool the job somewhere before
sending it to JetDirect-enabled printer. Your options are to setup print
queue on:
1. Dedicated server (you are trying to avoid it)
2. On Citrix Server itself (no good if your client would like to print
to the printer outside of Citrix) 3. On the clent PC
I suggest you install TCP printing on each client to JetDirect printer
and this way they will print to it no matter if in Citrix or not. A bit
time consuming but for 10 users it will work.

Subject: [THIN] Windows 2000 TS printer mapping
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.
