Mapping printers in an RDS session

Hi,

is it possible to map a printer which is connected to the local client into a RDS session (desktop or application pool)?

It works out of the box when connecting to a virtual desktop, but I cannot get it to work with RDS.

Thanks,

Thomas

Virtual printing is not supported via RDS in the current release. You would need a third party solution.

Oh, ok. I thought that only relates to the driver-less printing via the ThinPrint engine. Did not realize this means mapping local printers is not possible at all.

Thanks a lot for clarifying.

Of course normal network printing should work as normal.
