Hello,
i am having problems printing to localy attached serial port printer OKI ML 290. From that thick client (Windows XP Professional) i connect to my View 4.6 environment and choose Windows 7 Enterprise virtual machine. Inside virtual machine i am using a Travsys COMMS Pro client which grabs and transfers the session from the mainframe. It is some sort of terminal emulating software. Anyways i did not made any changes to virtual machine (i.e. adding virtual com ports) and from Windows 7 command line i can print on that localy attached printer by passing a dir > com1 command. The communication is either using RDP or using PCoIP. Anyway the setup worked in Citrix HDX scenario, so there should be no network blocking scenario.
So, we have applied the same setup for Windows 7 virtual machine as we did with Windows 7 installed directly on to the localy attached printer where the setup is sucessfull and we get to print from Travsys client.
Has anyone got the similar problem? Do you have any resources from VMware how the serial port redirection is being passed and redirected. I have tried vmware documentation and google search but without any luck so far.
Thanks,
Bozo
