I am trying to get our two printers to work together while accesing our
server 2003, which hase our pos software on it so we need to print receipts,
abd barcodes
a seperated printer for each, but it seems as i log in with the receipt set
to lpt1 and the barcode to usb, the receipt will work fine but the barcode
wont get any signal when i try to test print, but if i log back in with the
receipt printer on a closed port the barcode will work fine, anyone know how
to get both printers working in the same session. thanks

Which RDP Client are you using? Try 5.2.3790 which is on the 2003 CD, or
5.1.2600.x which ships with Windows XP SP2. Both of these have better
printer support than the client that ships with Windows XP.

Check the server's event log for errors related to your printer problem.
