Michael Vestel,
Have you considered that in the scenerio you described/desire, that your
work or home computer, or both cannot act as both the host & client in the
same Remote Desktop session. Or the model of your Home printer, may not work
in this type of Network session. The printer is hp LaserJet 1320, as you
stated, not a hp LaserJet 1320(N).
You have said that you have gotten this to work:
1. Home PC (client)=> Work PC (Host)=> Work Printer (Host Printer).
2. WorkPC (client)=> Home PC (Host)=> Home Printer (Host Printer).
What appears you are trying to do is:
Home PC (client)=> Work PC (Host)=>
WorkPC (client)=> Home PC (Host)=> Home Printer (Host Printer).
Have you tried:
2ND Home PC/Laptop (client)=> Work PC (Host)=>
WorkPC (client)=> 1ST Home PC (Host)=> Home Printer (attached to PC1).
Or hook your Printer to a Print Server device, this will create a different
IP address for your printer, that your Work PC can print to? Instead of
Looping back through your Home PC.
