How can I print when using Windows terminal services

AGazzaz · 02-19-2009, 08:14 AM

Hello,
Is it possible to print to a linux local or shared printer on linux when I am using windows terminal services?

I am setting up a windows 2003 server to use for terminal services, one of the users will have a printer connected to his computer (probably hp laserjet 6l -- very old

) and this printer will be shared on the local network so other users will print to it only from this local network.

I want the users from this local network to print on this printer while logging remotly to the server, Is that possible?

Thanks.

Assuming you are using rdesktop then the answer is yes.

Something like:
rdesktop -r printer:"Printer=hp 6"

You might need to create a local printer that passes raw data. The above example does not include username and other required options.
