No it wouldn't be a useful feature to bloat up VNC with it, as any real OS supports print re-direction. There is no need to duplicate services.
Same goes for file transfer. Or sound, or or or.. Will this basic thread of destroying what VNC is designed for never end? Its designed for MULITPLATFORM REMOTE CONTROL. Period. Nothing more, nothing less. And does a good job of it as well. > Message: 1 > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Local printing with VNC > Date: Fri, 25 Oct 2002 11:26:49 -0400 > Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Often it would be nice to be able to use a local printer to print copies of > documents in the remote system.
