Virtual printing and location-based printing are supported for Windows Server 2008 R2 desktops, RDS
desktops (on virtual machine RDS hosts), and remote applications only in Horizon Client 3.1 and
Horizon 6.0.1 with View and later servers.
NOTE You can also use Horizon Client to securely access remote Windows-based applications, in addition
to remote desktops. Selecting an application in Horizon Client opens a window for that application on the
local client device, and the application looks and behaves as if it were locally installed.
You can use remote applications only if you are connected to View Connection Server 6.0 or later. For
information about which operating systems are supported for the RDS (Remote Desktop Sessions) host,
which provides remote applications and session-based desktops, see the View Architecture Planning
document.
For more information about these features and their limitations, see the View Architecture Planning
document.
Internationalization
The user interface and documentation are available in English, Japanese, French, German, Simplified
Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Korean.
Monitors and Screen Resolution
When you use the PCoIP display protocol, you can extend a remote desktop to multiple monitors. If you
have a Mac with Retina Display, you can see the remote desktop in full resolution.
Using Multiple Monitors
If you use the PCoIP display protocol when accessing a remote desktop, you can use up to two monitors,
with a resolution of up to 2560x1600 per display. If you are using two monitors, the monitors can be side by
side or vertically stacked.
When the 3D rendering feature is enabled, the maximum resolution is 1920x1200. Examples of 3D
applications include Windows Aero themes, Microsoft Office 2010, and Google Earth.
To extend a remote desktop to multiple monitors you can use the Window > Full Screen menu item or the
expander arrows in the upper-right corner of the desktop window.
