Does XRDP support printer redirection now?

[AlekseySigachev]

Can you please tell me the version whitch I must use to achive printer redirection?

We don't support it I'm afraid.

I am working on a patch for supporting printer redirect via a cups virtual printer. I will submit a PR for others if they are interested. I am adding this to the devredir.c file itself and a separate file for the cups backend to receive the print jobs from the virtual printer.

Finally got it running. Will test across different clients and printers and then submit a PR.

Update is that RAW printing works but working on support XPS format.

[lakshmanpasala]

Got XPS working by converting different formats -> PDF -> XPS

Not sure this is the most efficient way as a bunch of extra ghostscript packages had to be installed. Have tested with xrdp on combinations of ubuntu 20.04, 22.04 and 24.04 and clients being remmina and mstsc, and both XPS and RAW format print jobs work with external printers as well as save to PDF/XPS.

I will create an initial draft PR for this later this month.

Thanks @lakshmanpasala - looking forward to it.
