Hello, if i understand you correct you use RDC to redirect the local printer to the Windows server 2008 TS. If you need to print with the TS you have to install the correct driver for the printer on the Windows server 2008.Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.

As you remote to the Windows 2008 system, it is using the driver on that system to print. Try to uninstall the printer driver first, go to find a new driver and reinstall to see the result.Shaon Shan| TechNet Subscriber Support in forum| If you have any feedback on our support, please contact tngfb@microsoft.com

I thought that Windows server uses it's own drives so is it okay to load an xp version on the server.

Installing the latest universal print driver on the local machine fixed my issues. Thank you!
