Thinprint on terminal server

I have two terminal server VMs (2003 and 2008) with the View Agent installed. I've added them to View Administrator and I can connect to them from my View Client however my local printers are not showing up in my terminal server session. I also have WinXP workstations in View Administrator and when I connect to those my printers are there as I expect them to be.

When I look in the VMware tools subdirectory on the XP VMs the Thinprint executables are there (TPAUTOCONNECT and TPCONNSVR) but when I look in the VMware Tools subdirectory on the terminal servers those files are not there. I've tried reinstalling both the View Agent and VMware Tools and still they are not there.

Is Thinprint supposed to work with terminal servers?

Thanks!

Brimm, did you ever find the solution to your problem? I'm having the same issue.

Thanks,

Kevin

VMWare only OEM'ed the ThinPrint printing stuff for their VMWare View Desktops. Try out the .print Engine RDP and the .print Application Server Engine for printing from your terminal servers.
