Configure USB printers

By default, a newly created cloud computer is associated with the system-generated default policy. Because the default policy cannot be modified, the administrator must create a custom cloud computer policy in the console and associate it with the cloud computer.

1. Log on to the EDS enterprise console.

2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose O&M > Policies.

3. On the Policies page, click Create Policy.

4. On the Create Policy page, enter a Policy Name as prompted, modify the policy settings as needed, and then click OK.

   After the policy is created, you can view it in the list on the Policies page.

5. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Resource Management > EDS Enterprise.

6. On the EDS Enterprise page, perform one of the following operations as needed:

   • Single operation: Find the target cloud computer, click More in the Actions column, and then select Change Policy.

   • Batch operation: Select one or more cloud computers, and then choose More > Change Policy at the bottom of the page.

7. On the Required Policy tab of the Change Policy panel, click Change Policy, select the custom policy you created, and then click OK.

   Note

   If the resource group to which the cloud computer belongs already has an associated policy, you cannot directly change the policy for the cloud computer here. You can either change the policy associated with the resource group, or first remove the cloud computer from the resource group and then change its policy.

8. At the bottom of the Change Policy panel, click OK, and then click Confirm Policy Change.

If the cloud computer is already associated with a custom policy, the administrator can directly modify the policy in the console without re-associating it.

1. Log on to the EDS enterprise console.

2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose O&M > Policies.

3. On the Policies page, find the custom policy you want to modify, and then click Modify Policy in the Actions column.

4. On the Modify Policy page, modify the policy settings as needed, and then click OK.

• Method 1: Globally enable USB redirection

  • Configuration path: Peripheral Control > Peripheral Redirection > USB Redirection.

  • Configuration requirements: Turn on the USB Redirection switch.

    

• Method 2: Enable USB redirection for specific USB devices by using a peripheral whitelist

  After you globally enable USB redirection, all USB devices can connect to the cloud computers associated with the policy. If you do not want all USB devices to connect to the cloud computers associated with the policy, you can turn off the USB Redirection switch and enable USB redirection for specific USB devices by adding a peripheral whitelist.

  • Configuration path: Peripheral Control > Peripheral Blacklist/Whitelist > Add Rule.

  • Configuration requirements: Enter the device name, VID, PID, and set Blacklist/Whitelist to Whitelist.

    

• Configuration path: Peripheral Control > Peripheral Redirection > Printer.

• Configuration requirements: Set the redirection mode for printers to Device Redirection.
