Hi Laxmikant. I'm not a freerdp developer, but I think I can answer your questions. Hope they will correct me in case of mistake.
Syntax for redirecting printer you can find here: http://www.freerdp.com/wiki/doku.php?id=documentation:userdocs:xfreerdp_manpage xfreerdp --plugin rdpdr --data printer[:<printername>[:<driver>]] -- You can install driver on local client (and this way is usually used), but it is not necessary. You can setup printer in CUPS like 'Raw queue', and then install driver on Windows terminal server. If you use command like xfreerdp --plugin rdpdr --data printer:printername:printerdriver -- , Windows server will send data to printer in language that printer does accept. Example of printer driver: "HP LaserJet 8500". It is important to spell the driver correctly, or printer could not be seen in Windows. Names of Windows drivers you can find if you do right click on any printer -> Properties -> Advanced -> Driver. BUT: in case of "soft" printers (that requires loading firmware every time when you switch it on) you should install driver locally. About redirecting multiple printers: as far as I remember, there was a bug in version 0.8.2 that didn't allow to redirect more than one printer. With GIT version you can use following syntax: xfreerdp --plugin rdpdr --data printer[:<printername>[:<driver>]] --data printer[:<printername>[:<driver>]] -- and so on for every printer. If you have direct network access from terminal server to network printer, there is no need to redirect the printer throw client. But if not, you should set up the printer in CUPS as usual and redirect it the same way as any other printer. 2011/11/10 Laxmikant Rashinkar <lk.rashin...@gmail.com>: > Hi, > > I'm using FreeRdp 0.8.2 with DirectFB and looking for more info on how > to do printer redirection.
