    Remote Desktop Connection doesn't see local printer


    I am running Windows 7 Professional 32 bit on both my local and remote systems.

    My local system uses a brother HL-5250DN printer hooked up via a network cable (otherwards, it's not directly connected).

    My remote computer was running Visa Ultimate and when I connected from home, it would see the Brother printer from the Windows 7 machine.

    Since I upgraded the remote system to Windows 7, the printer is no longer seen remotely.

    Any suggestions?

    Have you configured your remote desktop connection?

    Yes, I have configured the Remote Desktop Connection to share the printer.
