How to install and use the Thinfinity Remote Printer Agent

Once you have downloaded the file, execute the setup and follow these steps: In the ‘Welcome’ screen, press ‘Next’:

Check ‘I accept the terms in the license agreement’ and press ‘Next’:

Click ‘Install’:

Check the box ‘Launch Thinfinity® Virtual Channels Agent’ and click ‘Finish’:

Now that we have finished installing the agent, you should be able to see a small icon for it in your system tray. You can right-click it and select ‘Setup Printer’ to configure your printer(s):

The agent should look similar to this:

You can see there are 2 different sections in the agent. There is a combobox to choose a printer and a list with checkboxes that will show all your available printers.In the combobox you will select the default printer you want the “Thinfinity® Remote Desktop Printer / Thinfinity® VirtualUI Printer” to send the job to. If you leave this combobox blank, like below:

It will send the job to the normal remote printer, which will create a PDF file and print to the browser.The redirected printers box will let you select which other printers you wish to have available on the ‘remote desktop/application’. Below is a practical example to understand this better:

In the screenshot above, you can see a few printers that say ‘redirected’ on its name. These printers are the ones I have ‘checked’ in the ‘Redirected Printers’ box. If I send the print job to ‘Thinfinity® Remote Desktop Server Printer’ (or Thinfinity® VirtualUI Printer) as in the screenshot below, the job will go to my local ‘Microsoft Print to PDF’ (the printer I chose in the combo box):

But I will still be able to choose a different local printer if I wish (the ones allowed in the ‘Redirected Printers’ box).
