Hi,
I am facing a printer problem while connecting to Remote desktop.We have 8 network printers and a printer serve, in which all the printers are configured.Recently, we discovered a need to print to one of these local networked printers while remotely logged into a client’s machine via Remote Desktop.
For a locally connected printer, this isn’t a problem. One just has to make sure that the “printers” box is checked on the “local resources” tab of the Remote Desktop client before connecting.
However, only printers plugged into local LPT, COM and USB ports on the machine making the connection will be visible from the remote machine. Networked printers won’t be.But I am able to connect one printer remotely which is my default printer.But I need one more printer.So one of my friend suggested me to to install printer driver in remote machine and run NET USE command in my machine from where I am trying to access the remote machine so I installed the printer driver in the remote machine and tried NET USE LPT2 \\server\Printer /PERSISTENT:YES But this gave me the following error
System error 67 has occurred. The network name cannot be found
so I got a solution for this as follows
f Network Address Translator (NAT) is installed but is not configured correctly, disable the Internet Protocol (IP) NAT driver, and then restart the computer. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
2. On the Hardware tab, click Device Manager.
3. On the View menu, click Show hidden devices.
4. Expand Non-Plug and Play Drivers, right-click IP Network Address Translator, and then click Disable.
5. Click Yes two times to restart the computer.
still I am facing the same error and still not able to take any print out from my client machine.... Any one ever faced this kind of problem? Am I doing correct steps?Please help me...
Thanks in advance.
