Set up remote printing

One of the key services provided by the remote support solutions is remote printing. the

Master users will usually use this service to redirect a print command on the Host to a

printer that is connected locally to the Master. However, in order to enable this service,

the Host computer must be configured for remote printing.

To configure your Host computer for remote printing, a printer driver must be added to

the Host computer, and assigned to a local port on the Host computer with the name

“the”. The printer driver that is added must correspond to the local printer to be used by

the Master user.

The procedure for configuring the Host for remote printing depends on your operating
