Description

The name of the printer driver to use for Secure Global Desktop PDF printing when printing from Windows applications that use the Microsoft RDP Windows Protocol.

This printer driver must be installed on every Windows application server used with Secure Global Desktop.

The printer driver must be a PostScript printer driver. The default is HP Color LaserJet 8500 PS.

The name you type must match the name of the printer driver installed on your Windows application servers exactly. Pay particular attention to the use of capitals and spaces. Use quotes on the command line if the name includes spaces. The /opt/tarantella/etc/data/default.printerinfo.txt file contains all the common printer driver names ordered by manufacturer. To avoid errors, copy and paste the driver name from this file.
