Hi everyone, Seasons Greetings I am trying to help a friend print remotely. All computers are running XP Pro. I can connect to her home or work computer remotely and print no problem. Her computer shows my printer (an Epson 720 Stylus). When she connects from her home computer to the work computer it will not show her printer which is a HP PSC 1200.

I have also made sure that the remote connection GUI does have printer access ticked. What else should I check? ...
