Hi, I have two clients who connect remotely to a 2003 Terminal Server who do
not get session printers created. The server doesn't even try to create the
printers. I have determined that the issue is they are USB printers but
neither client machine has a USB001 port, only a DOT4_001 port. After
researching this I have found that the server will only create printers on
ports named LPTXXX or USBXXX. I have tested this theory by creating a new
port and calling it USB001 - the server creates the printer, but it doesn't
actually print because the port is not linked to anything. DOes anybody
know how to create a USB001 port? In the ports list in the printers and
faxes applet on a machine that works it says USB001 Virtual printer port for
USB. How can I create one of these if it is missing? Thanks!

Printers That Use Ports That Do Not Begin With COM, LPT, or USB Are Not
Redirected in a Remote Desktop or Terminal Services Session:
