Saving Documents in a Remote Application
With certain remote applications, such as Microsoft Word or WordPad, you can create and save documents.
Where these documents are saved depends on your company's network environment. For example, your
documents might be saved to a home share mounted on your local computer.
Administrators can use an ADMX template file to set a group policy that specifies where documents are
saved. This policy is called "Set Remote Desktop Services User Home Directory." For more information, see
the "RDS Profiles Settings" topic in the Setting Up Desktop and Application Pools in View document.
Set Printing Preferences for the Virtual Printer Feature on a Remote
Desktop
The virtual printing feature lets end users use local or network printers from a remote desktop without
requiring that additional print drivers be installed in the remote desktop. For each printer available through
this feature, you can set preferences for data compression, print quality, double-sided printing, color, and so
on.
IMPORTANT The virtual printing feature is available only with Horizon Client 3.2 or a later release that is
available from the VMware Product Downloads Web site, or with the version of Horizon Client for Linux
that is provided by third-party vendors.
This feature also has the following requirements:
n
The remote desktop must have View Agent 6.0.2 or later, or Horizon Agent 7.0 or later, installed.
n
You must be using the VMware Blast or PCoIP display protocol.
For more information about VMware thin-client and zero-client partners, see the VMware Compatibility Guide
at http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php?deviceCategory=vdm. For client software
provided by third-party vendors, you must be using the VMware Blast, PCoIP, or FreeRDP display protocol.
This feature does not work with rdesktop.
