## Managing Universal Printing Servers To configure RAS Universal Printing, select the Universal Printing category in the RAS Console. By default, the Universal Printing driver is automatically installed together with a Terminal Server Agent, VDI Guest VM Agent, or a Remote PC Agent. Therefore, upon adding a server to the farm, the Universal Printing is already enabled. The Universal Printing driver is available as a 32 bit and 64 bit version. Enabling and Disabling Universal Printing Support To enable or disable the Universal Printing support for a server, right-click the server in the Servers in Site list and click Enable or Disable in the context menu. Configuring a Printer Renaming Pattern By default, Parallels Remote Application Server renames printers using the following pattern: `%PRINTERNAME% for %USERNAME% by RAS`. For example, let's say a user named Alice has a local printer named Printer1. When Alice launches a remote application or desktop, her printer is named `Printer1 for Alice by RAS`. To change the default printer renaming pattern, specify a new pattern in the Pattern input field. To see the predefined variables that you can use, click the [...] button next to the Pattern input field. The variables are: `%CLIENTNAME% —` the name of the client computer. `%PRINTERNAME%` — the name of a printer on the client side. `%USERNAME%` — the name of the user connected to RAS. `%SESSIONID%` — RAS session ID. `<2X Universal Printer> Legacy mode` — This means that only one printer object will be created in the terminal (RDP) session. You can also use certain other characters in a printer renaming pattern. For example, you can define the following commonly used pattern: `Client/%CLIENTNAME%#/%PRINTERNAME%`. Using this pattern (and the user named Alice from the example above), a local printer will be named `Client/Alice's Computer#/Printer1` You can specify a different printer renaming pattern for each server in the Servers in Site list. Note: Redirected printers are only accessible by the administrator and the user who redirected the printer.
