With local printer mapping, the printers are first installed on the View Client computer and then mapped in the View session. For Windows and Mac clients the printer properties are transferred to the virtual machine. In contrast, Location-Based Printing allows for the creation of printers that are independent of the standardized local printer mapping. These printers can have custom drivers, names and printer ports (of the type standard TCP/IP), which can be defined in the Location-Based Printing group policy.
