Re: remote desktop never recognize my local printer?

You're asking me to repeat things I already explained, you're mixing up
answers I gave to 2 different questions, and you're not following the
instructions (e.g. enabling printer pooling so you can select multiple
ports). All the information you need is in my two prior posts.
I mean no disrespect, but I think maybe you need to bring in some qualified
local assistance to set this up for you.
