MS EasyPrint Redirect

Hello List

When accessing to a Win2012R2 Server via RDP with the MS Client, I can see and
use the printers attached to my local workstation in the RDP Session. That's
because of the EasyPrint Driver available in Win2012R2. Ref: https://technet.mic
rosoft.com/en-us/library/ff519199(v=ws.10).aspx

But, when I use the same session (same credentials) through Guacamole, I can
only use the "Apache Guacamole Printer" which is the one created by Guacamole

Is there any way to see and use the local printers when accesing through
guacamole?

Any comments or help will be highly appreciated

If you can setup a printer that is accessible via LAN, that should work. I
have never had a need to print from our RDS server, but just did so
successfully through the guacamole interface.

No, it is not possible for JavaScript to see local printers, and thus there
is no way to expose client-side local printers through Guacamole. For this
reason, Guacamole emulates its own printer, transferring printed documents
as PDF files for the user to do with as they wish.
