Some VDI protocols do add another option - they allow to send print jobs within their regular protocol - a feature called "printer forwarding" or "printer mapping". NoTouch supports both of them, as does Microsoft Windows. This is a protocol popluar with Windows, basically a TCP port will be opened and everything that arrives on this port will be passed on to the printer without interpretation (hence, it's called "raw" printing). All networked printers and printserver boxes support this. This refers to the Line Printer Daemon protocol that has been around forever, more or less. There are two different printing protocols: On the Windows side you would say "TCP/IP printing" and make sure Windows knows about IP address and queue name. Either they have Ethernet or WLAN interfaces built in or you bought an extra "print box", but basically they have an IP address and potentially a queue name. Most probably you are familiar with how network printers work. How is the print job transported to the client? Regular network printing When printers are connected to Thin Clients, there are these important questions to be considered: 2.3 Printing-related services in NoTouch.1.3 How does USB device forwarding fit into the picture?.1.2 Where is the printer driver and where does the rendering take place?.1.1 How is the print job transported to the client?.
