Configure a Host computer for printing
After you install Host, a printer port named PC-Duo: is listed in Windows as a port that
can be associated with a printer when you select Start > Control Panel > Printers and
Faxes. To print from a remote application to a printer that is accessible from your local
computer, the Host computer must have the following:
 A print driver that is compatible with the local printer must be installed.
 The driver must be associated with the PC-Duo: port.
For optimal results, you should select the same printer as the one you use for local print
jobs.
NOTE: You must install a printer driver and associate it with the PC-Duo: printer port on
your local computer before using this service. See the Host Guide for more details.
Configure a local computer for printing
The following options are available for remote printing:
 Select a local printer from the Local printer drop-down list. Make sure that you select
the local printer of the same type whose driver you map to the PC-Duo: port of your
remote Host computer.
 View information about a current print job.
 Cancel current print job.
Print your remote printing job
Once you configure the Host and local computers for printing, you can perform remote
printing any time you establish a remote connection.
Note the following:
 To execute a print job from a remote application, use the printing option associated
with that application when you are connected to it on the remote Host computer.
 Make sure that the printer that you select for the remote print job is the same one that
you map to the PC-Duo: port of your remote Host computer.
 Your print job is routed to the local printer that you select on your local computer using
the Local printer drop-down list on the Remote Printing tab of the Master Connection
window.
