In Horizon 6.0.1 and later, location-based printing is supported on the following remote desktops and
applications:
n
Desktops that are deployed on single-user machines, including Windows Desktop and Windows Server
machines
n
Desktops that are deployed on RDS hosts, where the RDS hosts are virtual machines
n
Hosted Apps
n
Hosted Apps that are launched from Horizon Client inside remote desktops
In Horizon 6.0 and earlier, location-based printing is supported on desktops that are deployed on single-
user, Windows Desktop machines.
To use the location-based printing feature, you must install the Virtual Printing setup option with
Horizon Agent and install the correct printer drivers on the desktop.
You set up location-based printing by conguring the Active Directory group policy seing AutoConnect Map
Additional Printers for VMware View, which is located in the Microsoft Group Policy Object Editor in the
Software folder under Computer .
N AutoConnect Map Additional Printers for VMware View is a computer-specic policy. Computer-
specic policies apply to all View desktops, regardless of who connects to the desktop.
AutoConnect Map Additional Printers for VMware View is implemented as a name translation table. You
use each row in the table to identify a specic printer and dene a set of translation rules for that printer.
The translation rules determine whether the printer is mapped to the View desktop for a particular client
system.
When a user connects to a View desktop, View compares the client system to the translation rules associated
with each printer in the table. If the client system meets all of the translation rules set for a printer, or if a
printer has no associated translation rules, View maps the printer to the View desktop during the user's
session.
You can dene translation rules based on the client system's IP address, name, and MAC address, and on
the user's name and group. You can specify one translation rule, or a combination of several translation
rules, for a specic printer.
The information used to map the printer to the View desktop is stored in a registry entry on the View
desktop in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\thinprint\tpautoconnect.
Printer Settings for Location-Based Printing
In Horizon 6.0.2 and later, printer seings for location-based printers are retained after a user logs out or
disconnects from the desktop. For example, a user might set a location-based printer to use black and white
mode. After the user logs out and logs in to the desktop again, the location-based printer continues to use
black and white mode.
To save printer seings across sessions in a Hosted App, the user must select a location-based printer from
the application's print dialog box, right-click the selected printer, and select Printing Preferences. Printer
seings are not saved if the user selects a printer and clicks the Preferences buon in the application's print
dialog box.
Persistent seings for location-based printers are not supported if the seings are saved in the printer
driver's private space and not in the DEVMODE extended part of the printer driver, as recommended by
Microsoft. To support persistent seings, deploy printers that have the seings saved in the DEVMODE part
of the printer driver.
