In order to do printing to a Thin Client printer via Windows or RDP, the LTC needs a static IP address and then add a printer in windows and make it local and create a a Standard TCP/IP port pointing at the ip address of the LTC. Then share the printer on the Terminal services server and use it in the RDP session. This is necessary because the LTC does not tell windows what type printer it has connected to it so Windows cannot determine which driver to use you have to tell it. This should then allow you to print to the USB printer from RDP.
