RDS Print

Redirecting a printing task might not be as easy as it seems, as restrictions might be applied to remotely connected clients. There are a few inconveniences that need to be addressed, such as deploying the same version of the device driver. RDS Print is designed to facilitate remote printing operations, making it more simple for you to send a document to a printer from across the room or across the world.

Based on a client-server architecture, RDS Print is very easy to deploy and work with. You must install the downloaded executable on the computer that will play the server role. The setup automatically generates a client installer that must be deployed on the client computer.

Installing the client is a matter of seconds, and your virtual printing channel is then ready to be used once a remote connection is established between the client and the server workstations.

The server runs in the console only, but it only features a simple command to choose the document to print and send the task to the client. It is very easy to use.

On the other hand, the client side is the message receiver, which retrieves the document the server sends and redirects the printing task to the printer of your choice. You can configure the client to instantly print a document it receives with the default printer or display the printer choice dialog. If you have a PDF reader installed, the application lets you preview the document locally before forwarding the task.

The advantage of RDS Print is that it does not require any printer driver. Basically, if you run a remote desktop client, you should be able to use RDS Print without problems.
