Remote Desktop not importing local printers

RD client on Vista Home Basic connecting to Windows Server 2003. Local
printers are not importing, even though I have checked the "Printers" box in
the "Local Resources" tab of the "Options" dialog of RD. Suggestions?

I'm having the exact problem, but I believe it's a Vista Ultimate (64 Bit)
connecting to a Windows Server 2003. When the Vista machine connects to the
server, the local printer resources are not available even though I selected
the option. When I use my computer which is running XP Pro, it does work to
the same server. I have been unable to find anything on Google or
support.microsoft.com KB for this problem. Anyone see this issue?

I am having same issue. I have Vista Business connecting to Server 2003. NO
local printers will show up. I tried the Registry fix that XP uses but that
did not work.
I have an HP JL 1320 connected through USB on the Vista pc.
It would be great if someone out there has a fix for this. Otherwise---No
more Vista for our company.

I tried installing a Vista printer driver on the server, printer still could
not be seen in Remote Desktop.
Then I found this:

Terminal Server Printer Redirection Wizard Tool:

I installed on the Server and ran it, re-booted the Server and now the local
printers are being re-directed and they can finally print!
