    RDC not showing printers installed locally


    Hi,

    I work off a Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit laptop when at home remoting into a Server 2003 R2.

    On the laptop I have a Epson Workforce 545 networked which won't display when I connect to the RDC. On the Local Resources tab, I have selected printers, clipboard, drives and ports on the RDC properties. Evertything else works fine and I can see a CutePDF printer that is installed locally when connected to the RD.

    I've used this setup with success on an laptop running XP just by simply ticking Printers in the Local Resources tab but can't seem to get it work with Windows 7.

    Does it have something to do with the port the Epson is using? If I click on Configure Port it shows it as LPR Printing. Is that relevant?

    Thanks
