Question : Remoting into Windows 7 box, can't print locally.

Windows 7 box = computer 1
Local Windows XP machine = computer 2

When I use computer 2 to remote desktop (yes, printers is checked off in the local resources section of remote desktop) into computer 1 I am unable to find my printer listed.  The only one I see  is the "XPS printer (redirect)".

The local printer is definitely configured properly.  The only thing that's changed recently is computer 1 used to be a windows xp machine, the machine was replaced with a new computer with windows 7.

What gives?

Answer : Remoting into Windows 7 box, can't print locally.

Make sure the driver is the same on both ends. Some printers have different drivers for diff OS.
