If this is not happening when you connect from another desktop, then you should probably start troubleshooting by reinstalling on the affected host PC.
I just remoted onto the same session i just tested with and in devices and printers ( on the client/remote session) it says so and so printer via logmein.
It never said this on the client/remote session the end-user was logged onto. I don't know if the end-user installed the host printer wrong or what.
It still doesn't explain why the "remote printer" check mark box was greyed out. Any reasons for that? Possibly older logmein software on the client computer?
ahebert I'm not positive about that bit, but I can speak for the expected behavior: Only when connected would the LMI Printer activate on the Host PC. This should never change the default printer on the Client side, nor should it permanently change the Host printer once you disconnect. Basic troubleshooting also includes rebooting the Host and Client PCs, and reinstalling LMI softwares.

I tried rebooting and removing the host printer from the host computer via device manager/turning off the printer and restarting it. Nothing worked. I just wanted to get a solution for future reference and have it documented just incase. I appreciate all the help AshC! :smileyhappy:
