How does the remote printing feature work with TeamViewer?
TeamViewer's remote printing feature allows users to print documents from a remote computer directly to a local printer. This functionality is particularly useful for professionals who need to access files on another machine and require physical copies of those documents without needing to transfer them first.
When using remote printing, TeamViewer establishes a connection between the remote device and the local printer. The user must have the TeamViewer application installed on both the local and remote computers. Once connected, the user can select the remote computer's files or documents they wish to print. During this process, the remote printing option must be enabled, which allows for seamless integration with local printers.
The data from the remote machine is sent over the secure TeamViewer connection, ensuring that sensitive information remains protected. The print job is then routed to the local printer, allowing a physical copy to be generated as if it were printed directly from the local machine. It is important for the local printer to be set up and recognized by the local computer to ensure successful printing.
