Remote printing via Remote Desktop

Hey Charlie,

Thanks for chiming in on this issue.

Based upon my research, there is a long list of issues associated with AIO
devices and remote printing. There is also a list of issues assocaited with
devices that do not use the standard USB port.

I have seen several occasions where some wouild indicate that using HP
printers solves this issue. Not so as I have also experienced this issue with
HP laser printers not AIO's. In one instance any tech indicated to use a
driver for an HP 4 Laserjet in order to address the remote printing problem
for a 2006 HP Laser printer. It took some trial and error to get the correct
HP 4 driver but we did get it to work.

Notwithstanding, in this case I ended up getting an old standby HP inkjet
parallel printer and it worked like a champ.

Given that remote printing is not a new feature and it is a highly needed
function, there needs to be a method by which a consumer can determine before
the purchase as to the ability of the printer to work with remote printing.
It would be nice if MS or the HD manufacures had a list on their respective
website. Frankly it should be a standard supported feature since it's clear
that the issue lies in the printer driver.
