Printing over RDP

by oneclick Jul 10, 2007 1:56PM PDT

Can I print back to the client location from the host location with RDP?

e.g. I am at home, I log into to my machine (via RDP) at the office and I want to print what ever I am working on back at home (where I am) on my printer. Can it be done? if so how and what needs to be set up?

If not can it be done with VNC?

Thanx
Mike

RDP: Local resources tab

Thanks!
When I look at the Local resources tab, I also see "Disk Drives" as an option to check. Does that mean if I check that I can simply drag and drop files to my client as well?

Thanks again!
