Remote Desktop Printer Problem

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.work_remotely (More info?)

When I connect to an XP pc remotely it wont print to my Canon 1210 Laser
printer locally.

It connects it when I make a remote connection
but I keep getting "The document failed to print"
Document name - "Local Downlevel Document"

The correct XP driver for the Canon is installed remotely.
I have tried all the ports - TS001 to TS004

Any ideas??

Windows XP at both ends.
Latest driver at both ends.
Printer is USB
In ports on local pc it is USB001
TS001 to 4 remotely.
Prints fine locally.
Same problem remotely.
Would a HP Laser printer work better?
Is LPT or USB better for this type of printing?
