Dear List, I am trying to print at home from a terminal services session with a server at work, using automatic printer redirection. When I am logged on, my home printer does show up in the server's list of printers as expected, but I receive an error when I attempt to actually print anything, even a test page. More detail: At work, we have a cable Internet connection, with the cable modem connected directly to a Linksys router, which is then connected to the rest of the network. I have set up the router to pass through any requests for port 3389 (the one used by Terminal Services), to a Windows 2000 Server. We have set up Terminal Services Licensing but have not yet bought any actual client access licenses: as I understand it, the license server will provide a free 90-day license anyway to clients, and we've got about 85 days left right now. I also used the terminal services client creator (32-bit) to create a pair of installation floppies. At home, I am running Windows XP Home, and I used the floppies to install the terminal services client. I now connect to the router by its IP address, and it successfully passes through that request to the Windows 2000 server, where I can log on quite happily. At home, I also have an HP Laserjet 1000 Series printer connected to my computer via USB. I plugged it in, then installed it using the appropriate Windows XP printer drivers from HP's web site. Then, over the Terminal Services connection, I installed the appropriate Windows 2000 printer drivers on the server, also from HP's web site. Just to be sure of things, I then reinstalled the Terminal Services client and rebooted my home computer, and when I connected to the server, lo and behold but there was my home printer. Except that when I tried to print to it, I received a very uninformative alert stating simply that there had been an error in printing. What can I do about this?
