I am connecting to a Windows 2003 Server using Remote Desktop. The client PC
is running Windows XP. No client printers show up on the server.

I have installed the drivers on both server and client.
I have selected connect to printers in RDC logon options

RDC can only support printers on the LPT or USB ports. If your printers are
connected to ports like DOTxxxxx, then RDC can't connect without a registry
change.

You would have to do a search on Microsoft for the registry.

I tried the fix described in KB302361, but it did not solve the problem. I
don't even has TS ports available in the printer ports section. I did have
some TS ports that were labeled as "inactive" but I have tried so many
different things to resolve this that something I did has removed them.
