Client printers (--mapprinters)

Objects with this attribute

Object Manager

Attribute name	Usage
Client printers	Pick a setting from the list.

Command line

Command option	Usage
`--mapprinters 2\|1\|0`	Specify 2\|1\|0.

Description

Controls which client printers users can print to when printing from Windows applications that use the Microsoft RDP Windows Protocol.

This attribute is only available if User-specific printing configuration has been enabled for the object.

The setting for this attribute overrides either of the following:

The setting for a parent object in the organizational hierarchy.
The array-wide default setting configured on the Printing Properties panel in Array Manager, if there is no parent object configuration.

Changes to this attribute only take effect for new webtop sessions.

When you enable user-specific printing configuration, users can print to all their client printers by default. If you select No client printers available, you can still use a Secure Global Desktop PDF printer.

Command line	Array Manager
`2`	Let users print to all client printers
`1`	Let users print to client's default printer
`0`	No client printers available.

Changes to this attribute only take effect for new webtop sessions.

If users can only print to their default printer and they want to print to a different printer, they have to log out of Secure Global Desktop, change the default printer and then log in again.

Examples

--mapprinters 1

Allows users to print only to their default client printer.
