Printing From a Remote Desktop or Published Application

With the VMware Integrated Printing feature, you can print to a network printer or a locally attached printer from a remote desktop or published application.

To use this feature, a Horizon administrator must install Horizon Agent on the virtual machine or RDS host with the VMware Integrated Printing option activated. For more information, see the Windows Desktops and Applications in Horizon 8 document.

Printing from a remote desktop or published application is a two-step procedure. For example, first you select File > Print in a Windows application, select the virtual printer that belongs to the mobile device, and tap Print. Next, the device's print dialog box appears. From the device's print dialog box, you click Print again. You can optionally select local print options, such as number of copies, paper size, and so on.

A Horizon administrator can turn off the VMware Integrated Printing feature by using the Disable printer redirection for non-desktop client group policy setting. For more information, see the Horizon Remote Desktop Features and GPOs document.
