Update on this issue> I've got this working now. I was not connecting to the server as administrator (even though I had admin rights) so the printer I setup in the account I was logged on as wasn't showing up. I was actually "grabbing" the printer from the network PC were it was physically attached. All I had to do was share the printer from the server account I was logged in as, set it up from the remote desktop session and everything worked.
Thanks for all your suggestions. Your ideas gave me the "blue's clues" I needed to narrow in on the issue. What a list this is!

I didn't mean to imply this was a problem with R:BASE, I just knew someone on the list would have a great suggestion of how to fix this.

But now with printer "redirect" in more recent versions, it is supposed use the locally installed printer driver.

Is that so? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Vellella" <[email protected]> To: "RBASE-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, October 17, 2011 10:38 PM Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: Printing Using Terminal Server & Server 2008 : Paul, : : : : From the terminal server session it is normal to see the "redirected".
