NimbostratusRemote Desktop Resources - printer redirection
I have looked around and haven't found much about printer redirection with the F5's Remote Desktop Resource. When you launch one of the resources from the WebTop you can see the printers are redirected, however it does not print properly using the Easy Print driver. I have found a workaround to install the various drivers on the RDS server but this is tedious and not scalable. Another way I tried to do this was to create an App Tunnel resource to the server over 3389 and use the launch application tab to launch the mstsc.exe with the server name, etc. However this does not have the SSO capabilities for the user experience, that I know of, but does use the Easy Print driver very well using this method.
I was wondering what everyone else is doing that has the need to present the users with a Remote Desktop Resource or if anyone has a viable workaround to this issue.
Unfortunately 3rd party DLL over RDP virtual channels can't work with APM's current RDP implementation. This means you can't use Screwdrivers or Easy Print.
Eventually the current mechanism of ActiveX-RDP will be replaced with a MUCH better one that supports MSRDP Applications and Desktops using the native MSTSC in any web browser. The release to support this should come out in mid to late 2016.
