Printer Redirection

Printer Redirection is a fundamental remote desktop technology that enables users to print documents from remote applications to their local printers seamlessly. This essential feature of remote desktop solutions like TS+ allows end-users to utilize their locally installed printers while working with applications running on remote servers.

How Printer Redirection Works

When enabled, printer redirection automatically detects and maps local printers to the remote session, creating virtual printer ports that mirror the user’s physical printer configuration. This process happens transparently during session initialization, requiring minimal configuration from administrators or end-users.

Key Benefits

• Seamless printing experience from remote applications
• Automatic detection and mapping of local printers
• Reduced network bandwidth usage compared to traditional network printing
• Support for various printer models and drivers
• No need for manual printer installation on remote servers

Configuration and Management

Administrators can easily configure printer redirection through the TSplus price plans, which offer various levels of printing functionality. The setup process involves:

• Enabling printer redirection in server settings
• Configuring printer driver policies
• Managing user permissions and access rights
• Setting up printer bandwidth optimization

Security Considerations

• Encrypted print data transmission
• User-level access control for printing functions
• Printer driver isolation for enhanced security
• Audit logging of print activities
