In Horizon Client 3.1, if a remote application creates a Windows System Tray item, that item appears in
the notification area on the menu bar on your Mac client system. You can interact with this item from
the notification area on your Mac in the same way that you would interact with it from the System Tray
on a Windows system.
NOTE When you re-click a redirected System Tray item in the notification area on your Mac, the
context menu does not disappear.
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.
Printing from a Remote Desktop
From a remote desktop, you can print to a virtual printer or to a USB printer that is attached to your client
computer. Virtual printing and USB printing work together without conflict.
Enabling Virtual Printing on the Mac OS X Client
When you use the PCoIP display protocol, you can use printers configured for your local computer from a
remote desktop or application.
The virtual printing feature is available with no driver installation required.
When the virtual printing feature is enabled, the Connection menu displays Printing Enabled.
You can enable virtual printing the first time you launch Horizon Client. Click Continue when
Horizon Client prompts you to start remote desktop USB and printing services and type your system
credentials.
NOTE If you install Horizon Client for Mac OS X on a Mac on which VMware Fusion was previously
launched, printing services will already be enabled when you launch Horizon Client. This behavior occurs
because VMware Fusion and Horizon Client use some of the same files to implement virtual printing.
If you do not enable virtual printing the first time you launch 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 View Client (Horizon Client 3.0) or VMware
Horizon Client (Horizon Client 3.1) menu. Click Continue in the dialog box 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 View Client (Horizon Client 3.0) or VMware Horizon Client (
Horizon Client 3.1) menu. Click Continue, type your system credentials, and reconnect to the desktop
or application. If you cancel the reconnection, you can click Connection > Enable Printing and
Horizon Client prompts you to reconnect again.
