Hi,
We have VMware View 5.3.2 installed with a printer server on the same network.
Our physical computer is on a remote site (20MB between sites) with network printers mapped, the printers is on the remote site.
When we connect to VMware View from the physical computer (with view client) the network printer is redirected with thin print drivers on the virtual desktop.
I understand that the thin print driver is compressing the jobs and send it to the physical computer's printer, BUT if the printer on the physical computer is a network printer from my printer server, so that means the printer sends the job to the printer server for processing and than comes back to the printer on the remote site !!
to sum up the printing process:
Thin print printer (servers network) -> network printer on the physical computer(remote network) -> print server(servers network) -> network printer (remote network)
so my question is:
is there any way to short that process ?
something like: Thin print -> printer server -> network printer (but its impotent to keep the compression feature because of the bandwidth saving)
