Access the Remote Print Manager settings and monitor the progress of remote printing jobs using the Remote Printing tab on the Master Connection Window. An active remote control connection must be maintained between the Host computer and the local computer to complete the remote printing process.
Remote printing has been completely re-written for PROXY Pro v9.0. You now have the ability to print in both directions, from Host to Master or from Master to Host. You no longer have to install matching printer drivers on Host and Master. You can send the same print job to multiple destinations at once. You can send saved print job files to a remote printer without going through the print process all over again. And remote printing works Peer-to-Peer as well as via Gateway, and on all PROXY Pro v9.0 supported Windows platforms, (desktop and server operating systems, both 32-bit and 64-bit editions). All of this is made possible by two key components of PROXY Pro remote printing - the PROXY Pro XPS Printer driver, and the PROXY Pro Remote Print Manager.
When you install PROXY Pro Master on a computer, you also get the PROXY Pro XPS Printer driver and Remote Print Manager. The XPS driver is used to create printer-independent XPS files, and the Remote Print Manager is used to manage sending and receiving print jobs (files) over one or more remote printing connections. When you make a remote printing connection to a Host, the Remote Print Manager starts up and places an icon in the system notification area (system tray). PROXY Pro Master v9.0 automatically makes a remote printing connection when you make a remote control connection.
To print from Master to Host via an open a Connection Window, you simply use your application's print function to print to the PROXY Pro Printer (automatically installed for you). The PROXY Pro XPS driver converts the resulting print job into a printer-independent XPS file which it then submits to the Remote Print Manager. The Remote Print Manager automatically sends the file to the Host via the open remote printing connection, where it is received by the Host's own Remote Print Manager and printed according to the Host's Remote Print Manager settings.
To print from Host to Master, you simply use the Host application's print function to print to the PROXY Pro Printer on the Host (automatically installed with PROXY Pro Host). The resulting print job is sent to your local machine and printed according to your local Remote Print Manager settings.
