Printing using Virtual Channels through FirePass

I was interested in your post as we have the problem of not being able to support each and every printer which our RDP users might have. In reading further I stumbled across this document which seems to suggest that for ActiveX clients it could work by using the ScrewDrivers plug-in. See

ScrewDrivers for SSL VPN w/RDP

 

For SSL VPN devices such as SonicWall, StoneWare, Juniper, F5 Firepass, etc, these appliances must be configured properly to enable third-party plugin DLLs. For ScrewDrivers, there are two requirements to use these devices:

 

1. Clients must use the RDP ActiveX client (Terminal Services Advanced Client TSAC)

 

2. The appliance must be configured to enable the ScrewDrivers plugin DLL, sdrdp5.dll.

 

Most SSL VPN devices automatically publish an RDP clients that do not support all 3rd-party DLLs. Java clients are an example of RDP clients with limited support of 3rd-party DLLs.

 

Note: Please contact the vendor to verify that the appliance is properly configured to support 3rd-party DLLs for MSTSC

 

 

If you do manage to mke any progress with this I would appreciate an update if you could?

 

 

Best wishes,
