If you're on a LAN, you can share your printer and then print to it from the remote computer. For example, if you have an HP LaserJet 1100 on your admin PC and you want to print to it from \\Computer1, just share your printer on the network. On the remote computer do a "net use \\admin\laserjet1100" where admin is your computer name and laserjet1100 is the assumed name of the share. That is basically how Windows Terminal services pulls the trick off except that it encapsulates the traffic along with the screen traffic. It would be nice if VNC had this same feature but it looks like there is no real interest to include it. Until then, you need to use the tactic described above or the IP print server suggestion.
