The user is able to print to the printer locally from the laptop at home but when trying to print from the remote session (work computer), the same printer says "error printing" and we don't know why. Also, under options where it says "remote printing" it's greyed out and won't let us check mark it. I don't know why.
ahebert When this user is remotely connected, what are the default printers marked as, on the Host and Client side both? Are they accurately showing LMI remote printer as active on the Host side?

They are showing as default printers and they are labeled as HP LJ 4200, do they have be installed as LMI printers and installed with a LMI driver as well?
Thank you for all of your help!
ahebert When you make a remote connection, at that time there should activate a LMI Remote Printer, which will also be visible in the Host Printer Driver, and marked there as the active default. If this is not happening when you connect from another desktop, then you should probably start troubleshooting by reinstalling on the affected host PC.
