Dear community,
I'm having trouble finding a good or even working way on how to make use of network mapped printers without the use of ThinPrint.
I need to provide printing services of network printers capable of functions such as punching, perforating and caseworking etc. and these functions are not supported by ThinPrint so I would like to bypass ThinPrint and use a specific driver per device.
The setup is as follows:
Remote office users use W7 x64 clients and have access to a locally available network mapped printer (for example a Konica-Minolta Bizhub C368).
The VMware Horizon Client is 4.5.0 build-5650915.
All clients connect to a RDSH farm that consists of two RDS Hosts of Windows Server 2012 R2.
I know that I need to install the network driver on the RDS Host, and also a separate Windows Server 2012 R2 based Printserver is available.
Simply "mapping" (\\printserver\printer01 ...) and thus automatically installing the driver seems not to work, ThinPrint is always used. So do I need to run a specific exe-based installer instead?
What do I need to do to bypass ThinPrint and use the driver that is installed on the RDSH farm instead?
Additional information:
VMware Horizon Agent: 7.5.1-9182637 x64
VMware Horizon 7 Administrator: 7.5.1 build-9122465
Thanks!
