  It's short, and intended for IT personnel. Some basic knowledge required, but after playing with the settings for almost an hour, I thought someone else out there may benefit from this knowledge. So here it is for my favorite internet community.

  I have question 'does it matter if the computers do not have the same OS'?

  Sorry for the late response, no in some cases. I've done Win7 to XP, and vice verse.

  Its been almost 4 years, but I'm running into an issue where I have two win7 machines RDP into an XP (we just sent a quote to replace it). Individually the win7 machines print fine, but whenever the other RDPs in, it changes the others printer port to an inactive TS port. Normally this would be fine, but when that other computer remotes back in, its port remains an inactive TS port and I have to manually change it back. Is there a way I can stop this from happening?
