Hello,

Remote desktop from Site Singapore to Site India

The printers do not show up while we RDP

We have tried from different sites and it works fine. It is just this site that the printers do not show up while RDP in the local machine.

Connecting from Windows Xp and print server is Windows 2003 all patched and with latest SP.

YES i have selected the show printer checkbox while connecting.

Regards

Edward
