Print Local:>RDP to Win7/10 ->VBox WinXP
Posted: 11. Aug 2019, 23:02
Remote computer runs Remote Desktop to a Windows 7 (or 10) Desktop, which runs VBox WinXP Guest OS.
Need to print to the local printer (whether on the remote network or connected directly to remote computer) running the RDP client.
Cannot figure it out.
Was able, at least in most cases, to do this running XPMode on Win7, but can't figure out any workaround to do this with VBox. VBox can print to the Host machine's printers, but doesn't see the TS printers.
IF I could create a fake printer on the host that redirects to a TS printer on the host?
End goal is getting a 16-bit Windows app to print to the RDP client's printer...
(The only way I can get it presently is to print to a pdf in the VM saved in host-accessible drive/file. Then the RDP client can open it in the host with pdf reader and use Terminal services printer to get it printed locally - but that's more steps than would like.)
