Virtual Printer
The Virtual Printer is a feature of the Autosky Plugin that allows print jobs from applications running remotely to be routed to printers installed locally on the user’s workstation.
After the initial setup, users can select which local printer they want to use and send documents for printing directly through the platform, without needing additional configuration or authentication.
Installing the Virtual Printer
To enable local printing, follow these steps:
Run the installer you downloaded and confirm the installation.
After installation, open the Autosky Plugin and click Details.
Click Install Virtual Printer Driver and wait for the installation to complete.
Using the Virtual Printer
Once the driver is installed, the Virtual Printer will be available during platform sessions.
When logging into the Autosky platform, the Virtual Printer icon will appear in the system tray, located in the bottom-right corner of the screen.
Clicking the icon will display a list of printers installed on the workstation. Select the printer you want to use for your print jobs.
Within the platform application, send the document to print using the Virtual Printer option.
The print job will automatically be sent to the previously selected printer.
If you need to use a different printer for a future print job, simply click the Virtual Printer icon in the system tray again, select a new printer, and print.
No additional login or session restart is required to change the target printer.
The Virtual Printer simplifies printing in remote environments, allowing documents generated in platform applications to be sent directly to local printers quickly and seamlessly. With a straightforward setup and dynamic printer selection, users can easily switch between printing devices without interrupting their current session, ensuring greater flexibility and productivity.
