 Microsoft includes their **Printing Redirection** technology, which is generally very good, but requires the printer driver (of the remote printer) to be installed on the server.  This can be **very** problematic, depending on the printer.  However, **Microsoft now includes a great many printer drivers with modern Windows** operating systems which really helps avoid printer driver problems. Microsoft includes their **Printing Redirection** technology, which is generally very good, but requires the printer driver (of the remote printer) to be installed on the server.  This can be **very** problematic, depending on the printer.  However, **Microsoft now includes a great many printer drivers with modern Windows** operating systems which really helps avoid printer driver problems.
