I am having a hard time adding a network printer when my Win2k workstation is logged into a WinNt 4.0 Terminal Server. I have the printer shared and from dos I am able to do a net use lpt1: \\192.168.0.1\okipage and it maps back and can print from dos. I need to print from Word now and when I try and add the printer it fails. Can anyone tell me what I am missing. I remember something about having to have the right inf file on the Ts that i have on my win2k machine for the printer. Any help ... Thanks in advance.
 
The driver for that printer needs to be installed on the terminal server from the console. The admin can also add the printer from the terminal server console so that it is always available to all users who log into that terminal server, it will show up in your printers list.
