    Hello
    Here is my setup. I have a LAN with 5 workstations and a single printer connected to a HP print server. All 5 workstations connect to a remote server using separate terminal sessions. What is the best way to set this up so that I can get the printer to redirect and be available to all the workstations during a client session.

    Have you already installed the network printer as an available printer on the server? That would be your first step. If it's the only printer, make it the default. It should show up as an available printer to the clients. If not, try sharing the printer on the server and then doing a Start -> Run -> \\SERVERNAME\PRINTERSHARENAME while logged in via terminal services as one of the users.

    2 ways from my idea..

    1) Install the HPprintserver into server, make it default, so all terminal clients once they login, they should able to see the printer as default.

    2) Install the HP print Server program/ using TCP/IP print from windows, install the client PC locally, once they login into server, they suppose can see own printer as sth like " Epson printer from (computername) in session x"

    hope it help..
