Your syntax looks correct, but if that should work depends on a few variables: * First of which, did you use xfreerdp compiled from upstream or a distribution provided package? Either way you need to check if it was compiled with -DWITH_CUPS=ON CMake option. * Then you should try with just /printer which redirects all locally attached CUPS printers to the remote machine. Be aware that that may take a few seconds/minutes depending on driver installation time of the remote machine. If the printers show up on the remote machine you have a working redirection. * You can retry with /printer:<cups name> only and look if the printer is redirected properly with the default driver settings * At last you can try fiddling with the driver settings. You may need a few tries until you get the driver string correct (or you're lucky) regards Armin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ FreeRDP-devel mailing list FreeRDP-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freerdp-devel
