TSplus Virtual Printer

The TSplus virtual printer is a new alternative to classic remote desktop printing solutions, which can be unreliable, hardware dependent and difficult to manage. The virtual printer’s unique compression algorithm improves the transit speed of remote print jobs by minimizing data transfer while maintaining image quality.

Note: The TSplus HTML5 client is not supported and it requires the TSplus Universal Printer.

Benefits

  • Single-user and multi-user environment support.
  • Zero configuration is required.
  • Works with any virtual machines.
  • Mixed 32 and 64-bit environment.

The Client setup is also available from your TSplus web server, using the link below:

"yourtsplusserveriporpublicdomain"/addons/Setup-VirtualPrinter-Client.exe


You can also perform a silent install of the Client via a command line, by executing the setup with the following parameters:

/SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /VERYSILENT /SILENT /no_ui

Getting started

TSplus virtual printer is automatically installed during the first TSplus installation, and directly available during the trial period.

Once TSplus is installed, you will need to install the “Virtual Printer Client” on user’s computer.

When you connect remotely to your TSPlus server using either Microsoft RDP client (mstsc), TSplus generated client or Web Portal RemoteApp plug-in, you will be able to print from your remote session to your local printer using the “Virtual Printer” printer. By default, the local printer selected is the local default printer.

You have 2 ways to change the local printer mapped to the “Virtual Printer” printer based on your situation:

1.If you are using the full desktop, then you can select which local printer to be used by using the virtual printer icon in the systray:

2.If you don’t have access to the full desktop, you will need to use the “Virtual Printer Tool” named “VirtualPrinterTool.exe” located in “C:\Program Files (x86)\TSplus\UserDesktop\files”. Note: you can either assign the application to the user, or make it run automatically on logon through the Virtual Printer advanced settings:
