When you use the VMware Blast display protocol or the PCoIP display protocol, you can use printers configured for the local computer from a remote desktop or application. You do not need to install printer drivers on the remote desktop to use the virtual printing feature.
You can enable virtual printing the first time you start Horizon Client. Click Continue when Horizon Client prompts you to start remote desktop USB and printing services and type your system credentials.
