To nip some of the most common VMware Horizon printing issues in the bud, there are a few recommended courses of action: The tradeoff here is that the processes for dynamically assigning printers and their related drivers aren’t always dependable. When a Horizon client initiates a print job, the View VM simply receives and renders the job before passing it to the printer. This is especially useful in highly mobile environments such as hospitals and universities. Instead of end users being limited to certain printers, nearby printers are delivered to them as they move. Location-based printing: This offers some of the flexibility that printer redirection lacks.The third is that VMware Horizon printer redirection only works with a select number of operating systems. The second is that the document for printing is converted from its original file type to a special print-only file type, creating the possibility of rendering problems. One is that the print job travels across the WAN twice, which consumes bandwidth and increases WAN dependency. However, there are several potential drawbacks. No printer driver needs to be installed on the master image. Printer redirection: End users can print to a predetermined locally attached or network printer via the View virtual machine.Out of the box, VMware printing has two basic options for provisioning printers: The reasons for that generally fall into two broad categories: flexibility and reliability.
