Blast Virtual Printing
Virtual printing with VMware Blast allows you to use local or network printers from the Blast desktop without the need of
installing the additional print drivers on the remote desktop. For each printer configured locally on ThinOS, you must map the
printer to the VMware Blast desktop. ThinOS Blast printer mapping is equivalent to VMware Blast virtual printing.
