Printers do not appear to be redirected

[thedudeiii]

When I connect to my cloud server, I am not getting any of my printers to appear. My disk drives appear and my "Send to One Note" appears as redirected, but not any of my regular printers. I have selected "yes" unders printers redirect.

Operating system	Windows 7 x64
mRemoteNG version	1.75 aplha 3

Tested in 1.75 Beta 3 portable... Printers do not appear to be redirected. However, I only have network printers available. RDP directly (mstsc) also did not redirect the network printers. Will need to review any limitations of this feature.

@thedudeiii - could you please confirm if your printers are local or not? The option within mstsc specifically notes "Local" resources... I'm guessing network resources will not be available.

Both actually. I have a printer that is local and several networked printers. None of them appear.

Can confirm that this is still an issue in 1.75 Hotfix 1.

Same problem in Stable v1.75.7012

Confirmed still an issue in v1.76.11.40527
Disappointing as this is a crux point for us so we're having to use inferior solutions just because this doesn't work (even though it works in mstsc).

Still an issue in 1.76.18.26260
Please, correct this bug.

This will very likely rely on #826 being implemented. We just set a switch on the RDP connection to say if we want to redirect printers or not, so this is very likely a bug in the version of the library we are using.

To fix this, we need to use a newer version of mstsclib. However, using a newer version will start to prevent older operating systems from using RDP from within mRemoteNG (depending on which newer version we select). The best option is to allow mRemoteNG to dynamically determine which RDP versions are available and use whichever you would like.

At the moment, #826 is scheduled for the next major release v1.77.

I downloaded latest nightly version, changed protocol to rdp 9, printer redirection works now.
