I had the TS Server 2003 (64 Bits)
All the Client (OS : 32 bits XP) using the application program at TS server
by remote desktop connection.
All the clients can't share the local printer at the TS Server eventhough we
had configed to share the printer at remote desktop connection.

But I can share the local printer at TS Server 2003 when the client's OS is
32 bit Server 2003.

What can I do to share XP's local printer at TS Server 2003.

Please give me a solution.

Thanks a lot
 
Do you mean printer redirection or the actually sharing a pc's printer?
Printer redirection may be simply that the print driver names are
different between 32-bits and 64-bits. In this case you'd want to
implement something like this: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=239088

By the way,are you getting in the event logs?

If you try to access the client's printer as a network printer from
the terminal server then you may have to install the x64 driver on the
32 bit client.

I hope this helps.
