I'm using a Mac mini M1 running Big Sur. I have been using RD to log into my work computer from home. I have an Epson Printer connected via Wifi to mu Mac. I read up on how to use this LOCAL printer while logged into my Work computer using RD 10.6.7, Every response stated to select "Forward to local printer". I believe this was for older versions since I do not see this open in 10.6.7. When I "Edit PC" there is a Tab for "Devices & Audio" under this Tab there are radio button to select the devices you want to use in session. I have Printers/Clipboard and Microphone selected.
How do I use my local wifi printer to print docs from RD? When I try Print on RD/PC Side all I see are Printers connected at work on the network. Is there a way to easily select my local printer instead? Does it have to be Hard Connected via USB to show up?
Thanks any help would be appreciated.
