You can configure group policy settings for the VMware Integrated Printing feature.

The following table describes the VMware Integrated Printing settings in the Horizon Client Configuration ADMX template file. The table shows whether the settings include both Computer Configuration and User Configuration settings, or only Computer Configuration settings. For the settings that include both types of settings, the User Configuration setting overrides the equivalent Computer Configuration setting. The settings appear in the VMware Horizon Client Configuration > VMware Integrated Printing folder in the Group Policy Management Editor.

For information about agent-side VMware Integrated Printing settings, see the Configuring Remote Desktop Features in Horizon document.

Setting Computer User Description
Do not redirect client printer(s) X X Determines whether client printers are redirected.

When this setting is enabled, no client printers are redirected. When this setting is disabled or not configured, all client printers are redirected.

This setting is not configured by default.
Allow to redirect L1 local printers to inner session X X Determines whether to redirect L1 local printers to the inner session.

VMware supports running Horizon Client inside a remote desktop. This configuration, commonly called nested mode, involves three layers and two hops, as follows:

  • L0 (endpoint) - physical machine where Horizon Client is installed.
  • L1 (first-hop remote desktop) - the remote desktop where both Horizon Client and Horizon Agent are installed.
  • L2 (second-hop published desktop or published application) - the published desktop or published application to which the second-hop client connects.

When this setting is enabled, the L1 local printers are redirected to the inner session. When this setting is not configured or disabled, the L1 local printers are not redirected to the inner session.

This setting is not configured by default.
