Redirected Printers

Any printers installed on your Local PC are available from your Cloud PC. These printers are called redirected printers and are identified with the label “(redirected X)”. 

When printing to a redirected printer, the print job will be sent from your Cloud PC to your Local PC and then from your Local PC to your printer.

For any printers without the “(redirected X)” label, the print job is sent directly from the Cloud PC to the printer. This enable you to be able to print to an office computer when outside the office.
