As end-user productivity is depending more and more on network performance, the job of a system administrator is becoming more complex and more important at the same time.  The most common action for computer network users is printing - clicking the ole’ print button and expecting a nice hard copy to pop out.  But alas, if only it was that easy.

In a network environment, a user’s PC is rarely connected directly to their printer.  After all, it typically makes sense to have a lesser number of printers and to share them among users.  With basic tasks one nice deskjet or laser printer might get the job done.  But in more involved settings typically a number of printers are needed by a number of different users.  Each user with their own settings, preferences, software applications and desires.  Each also wants printing to be as easy and reliable in a remote setting as it would be if they were directly connected to the printer.  Thus, the topic of remote desktop printing and how to improve its efficiency.
