I've put together firewall rules that forward port 389 on the host system to the guest.

Inbound users are all RDP and they get in, log in, and run applications with no difficulties.

I've followed guidelines for setting up print drivers. The RDP client permits printer sharing and works and prints well with an old Server 2003 box.

Every time I try and print test to a local printer using RDP a dialog comes up. "The printer <fill in name of queue here> is in an error state" The print job itself just sits in the queue never moving.

I've followed correct windows procedures for setting up print queues. I set them up using driver software for the client OS and the queues, look good and show up on the RDP sessions as available printers.

As A Unix gearhead, I believe the firewall is NOT the problem. In similar setups all I've needed to do to get printing work is forward port 389 to the windows box.

I'm wondering if there is some kind of setup wizard I need to run to enable printing to get back to the RDP clients local printer.
