Winprint won't print to printers that are not defined on my NT server (Troubleshooting WinAppxD)
As of version 3.5 and earlier, APPX can only print to printers which the server knows about, because the printing task occurs on the server. This means that if a user wants their report to come out on their local printer, there are two options that we currently know of:

A. Define the printer on the server, and map it to that user's printer. This is the preferred method, in terms of being easy for the user. However, it may be difficult or impossible for a particular site to keep these definitions up to date.

B. Have the user email (using OPT-7) the report to themselves, and print it from email. See section 4.1 for how to do this. The caveat here is that if it's a big report, it's going to take up lots of space on your mail server.

We understand that many sites consider this an inconvenience and expect to implement client-side printing in a future release, to more easily allow this to be done.
