How to connect a printer with Remote Desktop for Mac, version 8

Hello,
I use Microsoft Remote Desktop 8.0.3 with my Mac to connect to an application which is based on a Windows Server 2008.
I don't find the way to print to my Mac. I don't find the menu for it :-(
Same problem to transfert a file from the Windows Server to my Mac :-( :-(
Can you help me ?
Many thanks in advance
William

Hi William,
Please make sure that Forward printing devices is checked. This allows you to use the local printer connects to your Mac in a remote desktop session.

MS Remote Desktop for Mac (v8.0.9 - 8.0.12): issue with "Session (ID #) remote control failed."

Hello,
I'm a SysAdmin for a small-med business in CO. We use a cluster of 3 RDS servers that are load-balanced with round-robin DNS and an RD Gateway. When I remote in from a PC, all works as expected. However, when I remote in from my MacPro (my main machine at home)
and try to remote control a user's session, I get this error:
Note the ID number is unique to the user's RDP session, so will vary each time.
This is 100% a bug in the "Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac" program; I am positive of it at this point.
Does anyone from MS actually monitor these threads at all, or am I wasting my time? Thanks...

Hi,
As this happens with him specific from MRD MAC check whether he is taking RDP with IP address or hostname. Also try to uncheck the Option "Bypass RD Gateway for local address" under RDSH configuration and verify the result.
Also for more detail he can collect log from MAC side by following path.

Printing with PSE 8 for Mac

Hi,
hope some of you may give me some help.
Have tried to print with PSE 8 for Mac, but in the printing options there is none where i can choose the type of paper (ie: glossy, premium glossy....).
My printer is an Epson Stylus Photo 1400.
It works fine with iPhoto, here i can choose paper type. And prints come out fine.
Thanks for any advice,
dangerly

My printer is a Canon so not entirely sure if this helps but when I print from PSE 8 I do not get to choose the media type until I have clicked on the print button in the PSE dialog box. I am then presented with the dialog box for my printer where I can set the media type amongs other attributes.
It is normal for the media type to be the job of the printer driver so perhaps it is the same for your printer.

They are probably DRM protected, if so, you wont be able to transfer them

Can't connect remote PC with Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac after using a new router

I'm using a Windows 8.1 computer as a HTPC to download files and I set it logins automatically and I just need to press the power button then use RD for Mac to control the HTPC without extra monitor, keyboard...
Here is the problem: After I took my Mac and HTPC to another place, I can't connect it with new router now. (I change the PC name to new local IP, nothing else changed)
It shows on screen that:
Unable to connect to remote PC. Please verify Remote Desktop is enabled, the remote PC is turned on and available on the network, and then try again.
I can use shared disk drive of the HTPC on my Mac so I know the connection works.
Thanks!

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Generally, if it is a home network environment, please use IP address of the target computer as the PC name.

Help, when connecting to xserve with remote desktop, lost menu bar

Here is my situation, I have an xserve running 10.5.5, this weekend the server rebooted itself and when it came back up LDAP was not running and had to be restarted. I fixed that problem but now whenever I connect to the server using remote desktop, the menu bar is missing and I cannot open any applications. The server is not located here and can not be rebooted unless absolutely necessary. Is there a way to fix this problem by SSH in the terminal? Sorry if this doesnt make too much sense I am relatively new to mac servers. Thanks in advance

I think your priorities should be first, to get the server on a decent & properly-rated UPS !
If it restarted (undesirably) for a reason other than a power outage/issue, that should get addressed promptly.
Since you have ssh access (hopefully very well secured), I'd suggest you run use diskutil to verify the system-volume as well as run a permissions repair, and then set aside the Preferences folder for your account (whichever one you try to use for ARD),
and you can kickstart the ARD client.

How to connect a printer (wireles) to an existing mac-AE network from a PC?

I have an airport extreme configured network that works perfectly well. That means that my mac connection to Internet is fine and I can print documents wireless without a problem from my mac.
Recently I got a PC computer (OS Windows 7). Since the beginning, it recognized the wireless network and, after input the network password, it connects as fine as the mac does to Internet.
The problem came up when I tried to configure the printer to print wireless from the new PC, as I do with the mac. Simply, I have not managed to do so. I only can print with the cable from the new PC.
I have not installed any software related to the airport extreme base (airport utility). I thought that it was unnecessary since I could connect to the existing network with the PC since the beginning. But I do not know if that is required.
If someone know how to proceed (the steps) to successfully configure the PC/Printer to print wireless in the existing Mac/AirportExtreme/Printer network, I would be very greatful.
Thank you!
Neil

How could I turn off the Command Key to Windows Key mapping in Remote Desktop for Mac 8

I'd like to be able to turn the Command key->Windows key mapping off. In this new app, whenever I use the Command key to initiate a Mac-side function, it registers a press of the Windows key within the Remote Desktop session. Speaking only
for myself, I use the Command Key for quite a lot of Mac operations, while my need and expectation for a Windows key press is zero.

Agreed. Cannot stop it by disabling the "Windows" key (from within Windows 7). Every time I Cmd-Tab to change apps, the Start Menu pops up,
and persists, overlaying other app windows. Much more than annoying.
Also, there is no Clipboard Sharing, apparently. Love typing in long binary strings into the Registry.

Cut/Paste not working in Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac

Sirs,
I am using Microsoft Remote Desktop V8.05 build 24428 on a Mac under the latest Mavericks OS, and I find that Cut and Paste are not working. When I paste on Remote Desktop Windows always pastes the last thing cut/copied under the Windows remote session,
rather than whatever I just cut/copied in another Mac window.
I am well aware that the keystrokes are different, and I tried to follow the instructions on another question which indicated that I should select the console session checkbox on Remote Desktop's 'Connection' configuration window. However Remote
Desktop no longer seems to have that option ... the topmost line now shows 'Admin Console' and checking it did not help with cut/paste.
I hope you can tell me how to get this working as cut/paste is a great convenience.
Thanks

Hi,
Clipboard redirection is not supported in current versions of Microsoft Remote Desktop. However, I will help to submit this as customer wish to the product team.
Thanks for your understanding.
