Printing with a multifunctional printer trough remote desktop

[terminal server remote desktop mfp]

How should I configure my MFP HP officejet or photosmart to print with
terminal server remote desktop, I can't see the printer in the server.
I tried to install the driver in the server, but it seems that I need to
connect the printer to be recongnized and obviously I can´t do that.

I'm sorry to be the one who has to break the bad news to you, but
most likely, these printers are not going to function within your
rdp session.

Most OfficeJet and PhotoSmart printers are LIDIL-based and won't
work in a TS environment.
But be sure to check this information from HP, you might be lucky
and have a printer model which will give basic printing features
when used with a DeskJet driver. If not, the only possibility is to
use a 3rd party driver-free printing utility like ThinPrint,
Screwdrivers or Provision Networks Print-IT.

Hi,

check this out, could be the old problem with dot4 port:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/302361/en-us

But be careful with the descibed resolution. If implementing this you allow
to redirection of any kind of printer installed on the client including kind
of (virtual) printers. Besides this you cannot use the multifunction features
of your HP-Printer on the TS.

Regards
Marius
