DeTOS 7 Administration Manual

4.6 Printer Settings

DeTOS supports redirected printing to a locally attached USB or Parallel printer. Once the Printer Settings are properly

configured and applied, redirected printing will be enabled for all RDP, Citrix ICA, and VMware View connections created

on your terminal*.

1. From the DeTOS Desktop, select DeTOS → DeTOS Control Panel

2. Click the Printer icon on the left hand side of the Control Panel, under System. Enter the following values:

Printer Name: Enter a name for this printer. Do not include spaces!

Driver Name: Make sure the driver for the printer you will be using has been installed on the server(s)

you plan on connecting to. To check the exact driver name on a Windows server:

a.) Under the START menu, select Settings or Control Panel, then Printers and Faxes.

b.) Select File then Server Properties.

c.) Select the Drivers tab. This will display installed printer drivers.

d.) Find the driver name of the printer you will are using. The driver name that appears here must

be entered into the “Driver Name” field the exact same way – including spaces and proper case.

For example, if the driver name on the server is reported as “Lexmark E238”, then you must

type “Lexmark E238“ into the Driver Name field.

NOTE – Values like LexmarkE238, lexmark e238, and LExmark E238, will NOT work.

Connect To: Select the appropriate connection type from this dropdown list. (USB or Parallel).

3. Press the Apply button to save. The printer changes will take place immediately upon pressing Apply.

4. No reboot is necessary. Launching any of your RDP, Citrix ICA, or VMware View connections, you will find your

printer under the Printers and Faxes Window and it will be automatically designated as the default printer.

*Note – Printing from the local web browser in DeTOS is not supported at this time. DeTOS does not include printer drivers on the local

operating system.

Note – To redirect printing to all of your protocols such as rDesktop, make sure that all options for redirection are enabled, including

Printing and Disk Drive Mapping.
