Printer re-direct in TS

customer has multifunctioning printer at home office, he
connects to terminal server (W2Kserver) and cannot print
at home?  How can I resolve this?  

Does this have to do with the client software i.e. ts-
client 32 or does it have to do with the printer driver?  

If it is client, how can I check client version and where
can I get updated copy?  Thanks in advance for your help.

  2 things:

  1.)  Make sure the print driver on his client computer
is the same one as the driver loaded on the terminal
server.
  2.)  Apply the q328020 hotfix from Microsoft. Give
Microsoft a call and they will send you the hotfix. (free
of charge, if you can believe it!!)  Remember that this is
a server side hotfix so when you apply it to your terminal
server it will require a reboot.

  One of those options should fix your problem.

1. DOS Printer re-direct

I'm not quite sure if this can be done or not but here goes.
I have an DOS application running in a Win98SE dos window, shared among 4
systems.  On 2 of the systems I need to redirect a programmed assigned LPT
port (on one machine LPT2 on the other LPT3) to print to the local LPT1 port
(am I making myself clear?)...to clarify....when the program tells a print
job on one of these 2 machines to print to the phantom LPT port, I need it
to redirect to the LPT1 port.
Any ideas?
By the way, this is a system that was once running under POWERLAN which did
all the redirecting for it.
MODE does not do this....so I hope there is something else I can do?
Please email any response as well as posting here for everyone to see.
