Synopsis
  • The HOB EasyPrint feature provides support for virtually any printer on the market; without having to install the driver for each printer on the WTS.
  • Print data is processed on the server using a standard driver and converted by the applet for output on a local or network printer.
  • The HOB EasyPrint feature is not the same as the Microsoft EasyPrint feature. The Microsoft EasyPrint feature is currently not supported via the Pulse Secure HOB Applet.
  • The HOB EasyPrint feature depends on a generic HP print driver (HP DeskJet 1120C); so, this print driver needs to be installed on the Remote Desktop Server.
  • By default, the HP DeskJet 1120C print driver is installed on Windows 2003 and  Windows 2008 servers. By default, They are also installed on Windows XP and Windows Vista clients.
  • However, you will need to install the above print drivers manually on Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2 servers, using the Windows Update feature under Printers and Faxes.
