RDP Printer Re-Direction not working through PIX 515E...

I have a Cisco PIX 515E set up with users that authenticate on the
PIX's user database. They can connect fine and connect to the Remote
Desktop server fine. The only problem is when it comes to printing to
their local printer.

We had this set up before without the PIX, and everyhting worked fine,
so it has to be something blocking the printer re-direction.


This is the problem....If the printer is attatched to the machine, they
can see the printer and print. If a second computer in the same office
connects to the Remote Desktop, they cannot see the printer which is
set up like 'net use \\computer\shared printer'. It is the same if it
is a network printer.

So, in conclusion, people can print to their printer if it is
physically attatched to their machine via parallel port. They cannot
print through their share that i set up to trick Remote Desktop into
thinking it is physically attatched to a LPT port. Users cannot print
to network printers that i have set up the same way.

Keep in mind that my setup worked fine until i changed our firewall to
the PIX515 for vpn access.

Thanks
Jason
