Mac Forum / Applications / Other MS Products / February 2007can't get RDC to print to my mac
Hi, I have a HP PSC 750 printer that has worked fine for years on my mac. But now I've got a remote connection to my windows based work environment and I can't get anything to print from my remotely accessed windows machine. My boss has connected remotely with his mac and can get things to print on his printer (connected to his mac). We've set my connection up the same way, but the printer set-up wizard never can seem to find my printer. Noel > Hi, I have a HP PSC 750 printer that has worked fine for years on my > mac.

Hi Noel! I looked up a bit of information about the printer but I can't find anything that says the printer is Postscript capable. Without Postscript, you can't print to a locally attached printer through RDC. That's a requirement. Hope this helps! bill  SignatureWilliam M.

Do you know of any cheap printers that ARE post-script? Or do you know how I find that out? I only need it for black and white text printing. Noel > Hi, Bill. > > Thanks for doing that research!

I only need it for black and white text printing. Hi Noel! Unfortunately, a good Postscript printer won't be cheap (under a few hundred U.S. dollars). The reason is that any printer manufacturer who wants to use this language must pay Adobe a licensing fee. If you're able to print to a nearby network printer instead then it may very well be a Postscript printer. You'll want to check the printer's installed "personalities". Most have PCL, others will have both PCL and Postscript. Be wary of anything that says "emulated Postscript". Those may not work for you. Local printing to non-Postscript printers is a common problem. Be sure to use RDC's Help --> Send Feedback feature to tell Microsoft you'd like to see this feature too.
