Fixed it!
As I stated before, I am not an expert, so I don't know which of these steps
are essential and which are not, but here is what I did:
In Windows Server 2003:
1. Installed HP Universal Print Driver 4.1 (PCL5)
2. Chose 'Local Printer Connected to This Computer'
3. Unchecked 'auto-detect printers'
4. Changed the default port from LPT1 to Terminal Services port for the
user with the LaserJet 3050 - didn't matter which TS Port, just one that is
available.
5. Assigned the HP Universal Printer Driver to the TS Port
6. Finished
In Vista Home Premium:
1. Installed both LaserJet 3050 PCL 5 driver native to Vista AND HP
Universal Printer Driver PCL5
2. Had 'printer pooling' enabled at the bottom of the 'port' tab in HP
Universal Printer PCL5 and 3050 printer drivers
3. Selected BOTH LPT1 and DOT4 ports for both of those printers and printed
test page directly from Vista to make sure those drivers worked
In Terminal Services Session (Remote Desktop connecting to Server 2003:
1. Logged in and HP Universal Printer PCL5 (on session COMPUTERNAME) was
visible
2. Printed test page, Notepad text, and Word document to printer in number
1 - ALL THREE printed from multiple TS sessions on 'COMPUTERNAME's LaserJet
3050!!!!
Hope this helps.
