Using the 2X Client for Local Printing on a Mac
Submitted by Ryan Pope, Product Manager on August 10, 2010 – 5:48 pm3 Comments
This video demonstrates how to use 2X to print to a locally-installed printer on a Mac:
As you can see, it’s very simple to configure your locally-installed printer within the 2X Client for Macs; configuration settings can be easily set using the Options tab within the 2X Client, which allows you to specify the printer name and driver of your choice. The selected printer is then redirected to appear in the print dialog box, allowing you choose this printer in completing print jobs.
For more information on 2X ApplicationServer and 2X VirtualDesktopServer features and functionality, please visit: http://www.2x.com.
The installed Drivers only have a limited number of page sizes. I want to print to a local A1 printer. How can I install drivers for that printer so that I can use large page sizes?
This doesn’t work on our freshly installed configuration.
Selecting any local Mac printers (Epson, HP, Canon) configured on Mac OS/X 10.6.3 never appear in the 2X Mac client (latest version),
connecting to a W2008/R2x64 server.
Selecting “all printers” doesn’t show any of these locally configured printers either.
Please advise.
We are having the same problem as Eric (the previous poster). Local OS X printers (10.5.8) do not appear in the print dialog OS in published applications on our 2X server. The 2X server is Win2008R2x64.
