Question : Print from RDP/Terminal

I have a HP laser jet connected to my local pc via USB. When I RDP into terminal server with my ts account that local printer gets redirected to the server. My issue is, when i try to print the print job fails automatically. The job sits in the queue and fails. I know that the redirection is occurring because the job also shows on my local pC printer queue. I have reinstalled my printer, looked for new drivers, and added the printer to the server. I have yet to find anything that can solve my issue.

Answer : Print from RDP/Terminal

try purging the driver from the TS:
Printers folder, file -> server properties, drivers tab

if the driver reports it can't be removed, open a command propt and stop and start the spooler service
net stop spooler
net start spooler

reload the driver:
share the printer on your local PC.
RDP to the TS, the navigate to the shared printer on your PC:
in the address bar or explorer
\\\
right click the printer and connect (this WILL load the drivers)
print a test page to make sure the driver works.
disconnect the mapped printer, close the session, the re-RDP into the TS and see if it works.
