How to install and use the Thinfinity Remote Printer Agent

With Thinfinity® Workspace and Thinfinity® VirtualUI, you can take advantage of our new Printer Agent. This will allow you to send your print jobs directly to your local(s) printer(s).

Bear in mind this feature will only be available for Enterprise editions.

Installing the Printer Agent

  1. Download the printer agent setup.

  2. Execute the setup and in the Welcome screen, press Next.

  3. Click Install.

  4. Check the box Launch Thinfinity® Virtual Channels Agent and click Finish.




  5. Now that we have finished installing the agent, you should be able to see a small icon for it in your system tray. Right-click it and select Setup Printer to configure your printer(s).





    The agent should look similar to this




    You can see there are 2 different sections in the agent: About and Setup Printer. There is a Combo Box to choose a printer and a list with checkboxes that will show all your available printers.

  6. In the Combo Box, select the default printer you want the Thinfinity Remote Desktop Printer / Thinfinity VirtualUI Printer to send the job to.

  7. Select which other printers you wish to have available on the remote desktop/application.



    InfoIn the screenshot above, you can see a few printers that say redirected on its name. These printers are the ones that have been checked in the Redirected Printers box.


    If you send the print job to Thinfinity Remote Desktop Server Printer (or Thinfinity VirtualUI Printer) as in the screenshot below, the job will go to my local Microsoft Print to PDF.




    You can still choose a different local printer (the ones allowed in the Redirected Printers box).

    Keep in mind, that you can also keep all the printers disabled in the Redirected Printers box and just select the default printer from the combo. This will still send the job to that printer.
