Microsoft
Print Redirection
Unless you are connecting from
a temporary location, when logging into ThinHost it is obviously
essential that you can print. The Microsoft Remote Desktop
Connection client (the software used to connect to ThinHost) will
often ensure that the printers installed on your computer are
connected through to ThinHost. However, this method of connecting your
printers to ThinHost is not recommended except when logging in from
a temporary location.
ThinHost Print
Redirection
ThinHost Print is a special software program that ensures
all printers installed on the
PC connecting to ThinHost are seamlessly connected. It also
compresses the print traffic to make printing much faster. We
recommend that all ThinHost users install this program onto their
computers for these reasons. Instructions on how to install
ThinHost Print are below.
1. Logoff ThinHost
2. From your PC or laptop (outside of
ThinHost) go to
www.thinhost.co.uk and click on Support
3. Click "ThinHost Print" from the
Downloads section and run the install program following all the
instructions as given
4. Reboot your computer
5. When the computer has restarted open
"ScrewDrivers Client" from within the Control Panel
6. Select the Printers tab and click
the "Query Printers" button
7. You should also exclude all
unnecessary printers by adding them to Denied Printers. Click
OK to finish.
8. Disable
Microsoft Print Redirection by following the below steps
Disabling Microsoft Print
Redirection
It is important to disable Microsoft Print Redirect when using
ThinHost Print. If you do not, you may see multiple printers in
your ThinHost session and it may be confusing selecting the correct
ones. The following instructions assume you are connecting to
ThinHost by clicking an icon on your desktop, although the same
options are applicable if you are launching the Remote Desktop
Connection manually.
1. Right-click the ThinHost icon and
choose Edit
2. Select the Local Resources
tab
3. Make sure that "Printers" is
unselected
4. Click the General Tab and choose
