Remote Desktop Connection Parallel Install - won't map printers now

[jacksondorado]

My default version of Remote Desktop Client does not map my printers when I connect to server 2003 Terminal Services.

If I connect using Web Connection, my printers map no problem.

When I try to install the latest version of RDC, it tells me I already have RDC installed. Can I install parallel or in another folder?

I solved my problem and figured I would post the solution here for anyone else that has the problem.

It appears that with an XP computer with an older version of RDP, network printers are not mapped to the Terminal Server Session. there is a registry fix to allow all printer port names to be mapped. I followed the article instructions and the laserjet 1300 with a jetdirect 200m printserver prints from the TS session fine now.
