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.
A Horizon administrator can use the RDS Proles group policy seing called Set Remote Desktop Services
User Home Directory to specify where documents are saved. For more information, see the Conguring
Remote Desktop Features in Horizon 7 document.
Printing from a Remote Desktop or Application
You can print to a virtual printer or to a USB printer that is aached to the local client computer from a
remote desktop or application. Virtual printing and USB printing work together without conict.
For information about the types of remote desktops that support virtual printing, see “Feature Support
Matrix for Mac,” on page 43.
Enabling Virtual Printing in Horizon Client
When you use the VMware Blast display protocol or the PCoIP display protocol, you can use printers
congured for the local computer from a remote desktop or application. You do not need to install printer
drivers on the remote desktop to use the virtual printing feature.
You can enable virtual printing the rst time you start Horizon Client. Click Continue when Horizon Client
prompts you to start remote desktop USB and printing services and type your system credentials.
If you do not enable virtual printing the rst time you start Horizon Client, you can use the Connection
menu to enable virtual printing.
n
To enable virtual printing before you connect to a remote desktop or application, select Connection >
Start Printing Services from the VMware Horizon Client menu. Click Continue and type your system
credentials.
n
To enable virtual printing after you connect to a desktop, select Connection > Start Printing Services
from the VMware Horizon Client menu. Click Continue, type your system credentials, and reconnect
to the desktop or application. If you cancel the reconnection, you can select Connection > Enable
Printing and Horizon Client prompts you to reconnect again.
When the virtual printing feature is enabled, the Connection menu displays Printing Enabled.
N If you install Horizon Client on a Mac on which VMware Fusion was previously started, printing
services are already enabled when you start Horizon Client. This behavior occurs because VMware Fusion
and Horizon Client use some of the same les to implement virtual printing.
