JSI Tip 2896. How can I redirect a network printer in Windows 2000 Terminal Services?

When a clients connects to Windows 2000 Terminal Services, their network printers are not redirected.

You can redirect their local printers, when the Microsoft RDP 5 Terminal Services client is used.

If the network printers were redirected, a single server could end up with multiple instances of the same printer configured.

If you need to redirect a network printer, use:

net use LPTx \ServerNamePrinterName /persistent:yes

where LPTx is any print port that does not already have a local device installed.
