Remote desktops – Printing via ICA, RDP or PCoIP This improves performance during printing, since available band­width can be utilized better.įurthermore, each user can use all printers in the network which are accessible via TCP/IP – regardless of whether he is using a workstation (rich client), a thin client, or any other type of client. The print jobs are then sent directly to the client computer or network printer, circumventing the remote desktop session (separation of the data streams). With ThinPrint, though, they are able to print via TCP/IP in either case. Workstations and terminals (thin clients) communicate with the remote desktops (terminal servers or VDI) via the Citrix protocol ICA, via the Microsoft protocol RDP (with Citrix XenApp/Xen Desktop or Microsoft Terminal Services/Remote Desktop Session Hosts) or via the VMware VDI protocol PCoIP. The depicted scenarios can also be combined – flexibility in mixed environments is one of the strengths of ThinPrint. The following example scenarios illustrate typical environments in which ThinPrint can be deployed.
