Need suggestions setting up temporary remote location

[Richard Kreiss]

I have found it difficult to get Terminal Server to pint locally as it creates a different "remote Printer" each time one logs in.

LogMeIn and GoToMyPC(Citrix) are fairly secure and are easy to set up for remote printing.  I have a number of clients using each and have not had problems.   Since the appears no need for downloading files, the free version of each will work fine.

As for broken connections, since everything is running on the server, just log back in and continue working.
