Virtual printing
with VMware Blast allows you to use local or network printers from
the Blast desktop without the need of installing the additional print
drivers on the remote desktop. For each printer configured locally
on ThinOS, you must map the printer to the VMware Blast desktop. ThinOS
Blast printer mapping is equivalent to VMware Blast virtual printing.
To map your printer, do the following:
NOTE: : LPT printer is considered
as an example to explain the printer mapping scenario. Printer mapping
in ThinOS works similar to LPT for LPD and SMB printers.
Power on the ThinOS client with the VMware
View broker configured in the Broker Setup tab.
Set the connection protocol as All Supported from the Connection Protocol drop-down list.
Go to Global Connection
Settings > Session,
and retain the Exclude printer devices check
box selection. This option is selected by default.
Plug in a USB printer to the ThinOS client
terminal.
Go to System Setup > Printer.
The Printer Setup dialog
box is displayed.
In the Printer Setup dialog box, do the following:
From the Select Port drop-down list, select LPT 1.
Enter valid printer name and printer identification.
Select the Enable the printer
device check box.
Click Ok to save
the configuration.
Click the Options tab,
and do the following:
Set LPT1: <Printername>as default printer.
NOTE: : Do not select the Enable .print Client check
box.
Click OK to save
the configuration.
Connect to a VMware Blast session. Go to Control Panel > Devices and Printers. The printer that is configured locally in ThinOS is
mapped to the session.
The mapped printer’s driver is TP PS Driver and
the port is TPVM port.
The virtual printer allows the ThinOS local printer
to be mapped to the VMware Blast session without installing the printer
driver in the session.
