Windows Terminal Server Printer Redirection

I'm connecting to a Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Server through VMware View where printer redirection has been allowed.

I modified the registry as per kb 203417 and that now shows my fax as a printer (redirected)

However My local printers are still not being mapped.

Is there something else I'm missing?

I believe I've narrowed down the issue to a missing thinprint component. I don't see a thinprint service running. How can i install?

Hi krashid,

If you are using Horizon 6.0, then printer redirection is not supported for Windows Server OSes.

You would need to upgrade to 6.0.1 - we support RDSH printer redirection from 6.0.1 onwards.

Thanks,
