Each iteration of TeamViewer is packed with a couple of awesome features. Remote printing is probably one of the best and useful features available in version 8.0 and above versions. With remote printing, you can use your printer to print webpages, documents or pictures stored on a remote computer.
For instance, if you’re remotely controlling or accessing your Windows tablet from your printed connected PC, you can use your printer to print docs and pictures stored on your Windows tablet.
Users who are running TeamViewer might want to know how to use remote printing feature. In this guide, we are going to show you how to do remote printing using TeamViewer software. Follow the given below instructions to do remote printing with the help of TeamViewer.
Remote Printing using TeamViewer
NOTE: You must be running TeamViewer 8.0 or above versions in order to use Remote Printing feature.
Step 1: Launch TeamViewer software on both machines and enter the ID of the remote machine, click Connect to partner, enter the password of the remote machine and then click the Log On button to establish the connection.
Step 2: On one of the two connected machines, click Extras and then click Remote Printing. You will see a prompt asking you to install TeamViewer remote printing driver on both machines. Click Continue button to install.
Step 3: During the session, you can simply open a picture on the remote PC and then press Ctrl + P hotkey to open the Printer dialog box and then click Ok button print the selected picture or document.
Alternatively, if you’re browsing on the remote computer and want to take a print, you can simply use Ctrl + P command, select your printer, and then click or tap the Print button to print the selected picture or document in your printer. Good luck!

The remote printer option is unshaded. I cannot even get to step one. I am using version 9. Any thoughts?
Frank Meijs says
HI David,
I have the same problem as you are describing. I am using Teamviewer 9 on both machines. It makes no difference which of the two machines is the client and which one the server. The print job appears in the spooler and after about 30 seconds disappears again, without printing anything.
David says
Hi there
I have the software installed on both desktops, I click print on the source computer, it appears in the print queue of the destination computer and 20 seconds later disappears without actually printing. Printing directly from the destination computer to its own printer works fine
I have tried resetting the print spooler and rpc’s through services but that doesn’t fix it.
Is there a simple fix for this?
Thanks

Doesn’t seem to work so far with Quickstart?
Computers that I loaded the host version:
First one seems to work fine.
Second one worked on Friday, but doesn’t today?
Wil says
same here –
after “ok” to installing the printer driver,
nothing happens.
And there is no printer driver from TeamViewer on my computer.
I am a licensed user and paid big bucks.

“prompt asking you to install TeamViewer remote printing drive” doesn’t work.
Version 8.0.17147
wine-1.5.19
I printed by copying the file from on computer to the other and printed from there.
