Option Remote computer sound Enable port mapping Enable printer mapping Shared folders Description Specifies where the remote computer's sound should be played (remotely or locally) or if it should not be played at all. Maps the thin client's serial and parallel ports to the remote session. Maps the local print queue to the remote session. Use this option if either USB redirection is unavailable on the remote host or the printer is a parallel or serial printer. Configure the printer to use a local printer spooler, and the VMware Horizon View client automatically sets up a remote printer that sends print spooling commands through a virtual channel from the remote host to the thin client. This method requires both that the printer be configured on the thin client and a Windows driver be specified on the thin client because the VMware Horizon View client needs to specify to the remote host which driver to use for the remote printer. This Windows driver must match the driver that the printer would use when locally attached to a Windows operating system. This information is usually found under the Model in the printer properties.

Enable port mapping
Maps the thin client's serial and parallel ports to the remote session.
Enable printer mapping
Maps the local print queue to the remote session. Use this option if either USB
redirection is unavailable on the remote host or the printer is a parallel or serial printer.
Configure
the printer to use a local printer spooler, and the VMware Horizon View client
automatically sets up a remote printer that sends print spooling commands through a

This method requires both that the printer be
configured
on the thin client and a
Windows driver be
specified
on the thin client because the VMware Horizon View client
needs to specify to the remote host which driver to use for the remote printer. This
Windows driver must match the driver that the printer would use when locally attached
