# Remote Print

The Remote Print feature allows you to print a document or image from the remote device directly to a printer connected to the local endpoint.

To do so, AnyDesk uses a virtual printer (the AnyDesk Printer) on the remote device to send print jobs to the local printer.

### Requirements:

- Both the local and remote endpoints need to be running Windows 7+ or Windows Server 2012+.
- AnyDesk 5.0 for Windows or later needs to be installed on both the local and remote endpoints.
- A printer needs to be installed and connected to the local endpoint.

**Note:** The driver only needs to be installed on the remote device.

### **Installation**

There are two ways of installing the AnyDesk Printer drivers:

1. Enable “Install AnyDesk Printer” when installing AnyDesk.
2. Go to *Settings > Printer > Outgoing Print Jobs* and click “Install AnyDesk Printer”.

**Note:** Administrator privileges are required to install the driver.

### **Send a Print Request**

1. When opening the print dialogue of an application on the remote device, choose “AnyDesk Printer” from the list of printers and click “Print”.
2. AnyDesk then shows the Incoming print-job dialogue on the local device. The local user can choose to use the default printer or can manually select which printer to use.

### **Print Settings**

Other than the option to install the AnyDesk Printer driver if it has not already been installed, the Printer Settings found in *Settings > Printer* also allow the user to configure the default behavior of the Remote Print feature.

There are three modes to handle incoming print jobs:

- Dismiss (Automatically decline incoming print jobs)
- Print using the default printer
- Print using a specified printer

From the settings, the user can also enable “Automatically execute incoming print jobs using the chosen printer”, therefore bypassing the Incoming print-job dialogue.
