Connecting to server with RDC - Can I use a wireless printer on laptop to print locally?
I have a laptop computer at home, for which I am looking to buy a printer.
I wish to connect to another computer using Remote Desktop Connection (the remote computer runs either Windows XP, or XP server). I wish to be able to print from the laptop, with the output received to my laptop (either usb or wireless printer) rather than at the remote server. Can I use a wireless printer from my laptop? Will I need to install printer drivers on the remote computer? Will this cause problems if the remote computer is XP server. Do I need a special printer? or will a standard printer work ok? |

I do not have any experience with RDC, but a user in comp.periphs.printers posted this link a few weeks ago and it may help: http://searchwarp.com/swa33459.htm You will probably need to install the drivers on the remote computer, but you should be able to print wirelessly to a standard printer (that has wireless comparability of course).
