Hi Guys,

I have a Locally attached USB printer that I'm looking to share on the network. Do I have to create a LPR port on the workstation that has the printer attached, share it then hey presto? Or do I create the port on the terminal server and when inputting the 'printer' IP I would insert the PC's IP? I've seen this done years ago but I can't seem to remember the correct procedure!

off the top of my head - install as normal, share with a sharename and in the TS install a networked printer with the IP address and all the shares should be visible to you to select or to continue typing manually -eg. \\192.168.2.2\sharedlaser

 

Right,

1. Install printer
2. Install driver on TS
2. Share printer with IP address of machine followed by the share name
3. Add printer on the TS as a network printer.

Sorted - cheers lads.
