Local Printer support allows users to print documents on a printer that is connected to their terminal from applications running on the ThinLinc server.

See Section 5.3, “ Local printer support ” for documentation on this feature.

Nearest Printer is a feature that simplifies the printing process for the user by automatically printing to a printer that is located at the terminal the user is currently using. Users only need to know that they should always print to the nearest printer - the system will figure out the rest based on a database of terminals, printers and locations, eliminating the need to learn the names of printers at different locations. This decreases the need for support.

See Section 5.4, “ Nearest printer support ” for documentation on this feature.

Printer Access Control uses the same database of terminals, locations and printers as the Nearest Printer feature to dynamically limit which printers a user may print to based on the terminal the user is currently using. This feature also limits the list of printers seen by each user to the printers the user are allowed to use, simplifying choice of printer for the user by only showing the printers that are relevant at the current location.

See Section 5.5, “ Printer Access Control ” for documentation on this feature.

Printing from Windows Remote Desktop Servers is handled by automatic redirection via RDP. All printers the user has access to in his/her Linux environment are automatically added to the Windows session.

See Section 5.6, “ Printer Configuration on Windows Remote Desktop Servers ” for documentation on this feature.
