Bob - The only other think I would add to Frank's notes is that I've had to be sure the appropriate print drivers are installed on the server - so if a client has some unusual printer, make sure there are printer drivers installed.

This will bring a users local printer into the Terminal Session.. In the terminal server session, open up printers and faxes and you should see the local printers for the server and then the users remote printers. You can set any of them as a default and use RBase to print directly to it. We have been doing this for years with Win2003 TS and RBase 7.1, 7.5 and now 7.6. You should not need any other program to work with printers. I even have code that determines the which user is logged in and can hard code the printer to use if they have more than one on their local machine or a special printer. If you need any examples let me know. -- Frank Frank Taylor - Information Systems Administrator F.J. O'Hara & Sons, Inc - Araho Transfer Inc.

I am going to have a compiled version for outside clients to run. The IT guy set this up as windows remote computing. I am assuming this is terminal services, but they are basically remotely running this directly from the server, not a workstation. My problem is remote printing of reports. In PCAnywhere, there is a remote print redirection, but nothing like this in MS software. Sooooo, I asked this IT guy to make it work, and he showed me some software from the web that might do the trick; 1. UniPrint 2. ThinPrint RDP engine 3. Net2Printer RDP Has anyone used these for this or have a better suggestion I can look into? Thanks! Bob C Robert M.
