Redirected printer in Apache Guacamole #1810

Open escaramuju opened 3 years ago

escaramuju commented 3 years ago

From a lxc container in Proxmox 6.x, where I have installed Apache Guacamole 1.3.0, I access an Ubuntu 20.04 LTS machine with XRDP 0.9.15. The problem is that if I activate the redirected printer (pdf) the shared drive does not work (if I do not activate it it works perfectly). In no case do I get the printer redirected on my Ubuntu machine with XRDP.

Hi @escaramuju - thanks for the report.

Is this causing you any hardship at the moment, or are you happy with the workaround of disabling the printer?

escaramuju commented 3 years ago

I can work, but it would be desirable to be able to use the redirected printer, as it happens in an Apache Guacamole session with Windows.

matt335672 commented 3 years ago

Do you mean you want to use the redirected printer from within the Guacamole session?

We don't support the redirected printer I'm afraid. The best we'll be able to do is make sure the drives carry on working if the printer is enabled.

Guacamole, in a session against a Windows computer via RDP, allows you to define a redirected printer.

It is not a printer that we have on the client computer, but a virtual PDF printer that defines Guacamole.

It is a fantastic solution, since when printing anything from the RDP session, a PDF file is generated that is downloaded to our client computer.

I see what you mean - thanks for the info.

I'll mark this as an enhancement request. If we're able to support any sort of printing in the future this gives us a useful target to aim for.
