    I have my WHS hooked to my router as well as my two printers.  When I RDP into WHS and go through the add a printer wizard it doesn't recognize any printers on my network. 

     

    Any ideas?

    Are the printers Windows 2003 compatible? Do you have the correct Windows 2003 drivers? How are you connecting the printers to WHS?

    Do the printers need to be physically connected to the printer?  I thought the router made everything be recognized by everything connected.  Would connecting the WHS to a switch make things any different?

     

    I do have 2003 drivers installed on WHS for both printers.

    Is your router also a Print Server? If it doesn't have such functionalities, then are your printers designed as 'network printers' ?
    Do they connected to the network and have an IP assigned to them already?
