Any RDP clients for Linux that print?

Hi All,

I have a customer with a Kubuntu 9.04 (Linux) workstation
that needs to use a ws03 Terminal Server. I have been
using both "krdc" and "rdesktop" with great success.

Problem: none of there clients will allow printing to my
local printer. Does anyone know of a client that will
do this?

Many thanks,
-T

Either printer redirection is not enabled on the server, or (most
likely), the server doesn't have the correct driver for the printer.
Check http://ts.veranoest.net/ and go to the "Printing" page for
detailed instructions on how to troubleshoot this issue.

Hi Vera,

Great link! Not finding anything about Linux in it.

Windows clients (MSTSC) print fine. Then again they have dot net 3.5
installed on them. And, Linux does not. Any ideas?

just start the rdesktop session with the parameter:

-r printer:=""

for example: -r printer:OKI="OKI B4600 (PCL)"
