Default Re: Can not make local printer available in a remote desktop sessi

My admin is not sure what to change and thus I’m trying to tell them, so I'm
hopeful to find someone to help who knows what to do. Sorry but pushing it to
them did not work :-)

The following paths DO NOT exist on my computers (either)

"Local Computer Policy | Computer Configuration | Administrative Templates |
Windows Components | Terminal Services".
.....and...

"Local Computer Policy | User Configuration | Administrative Templates |
Windows Components | Terminal Services".

The following do:

"Local Computer Policy | Computer Configuration | Administrative Templates |
Windows Components | Windows Media Player".

"Local Computer Policy | Computer Configuration | Administrative Templates |
Windows Components | Windows Update".

.....and...

"Local Computer Policy | User Configuration | Administrative Templates |
Windows Components | Windows Media Player ".

There are no Terminal Services available to me…under windows components


The desire is complicated, and I think confused...Here is a clearer
description I hope:

Home computer has Laserjet1320 attached. I’m sitting home, logged into Work
computer via remote desktop.

I want to print a document I’m looking at that resides on the work computer
I’ve accessed via remote desktop from home computer. I want to print it to my
laserjet connected to my home computer so I can pick it up off the printer
I’m sitting at.

I have no problem printing to printers connected to my work computer and
picking it up later, but that is not my goal here.

How do I control the permissions to let me do this. I’ve done the things
listed previously, like hooked the printer up to both computers and locally
printed to be sure the drivers are available and working on both machines.
I’ve made them available via the remote desktop dialog that says to let me
have access to the printers. (E.g. under local resources tab in the remote
desktop connection, I’ve clicked checkbox next to printers in the Local
devices and resources section)
