I Have Upgraded To PLUS But My Remote Printing Isn’t Working
Remote printing can seem a little complicated, but usually errors with this can be resolved with a simple fix. Below are some steps to follow to try and resolve the issue.
Restart Work PC
The first step to try whenever you are having issues within the remote session is to restart the work PC. You should restart your work PC every day as this helps prevent any issues in the remote session. In order for the issue to be resolved you must restart the PC by clicking ‘Start’ > ‘Restart’.
Ensure Printer Is Connected
The next step to try, is to check that your home computer is connected to the printer you wish to print from. Please check the printer is switched on and connected to your home computer.
Select Your Printer
If you are having problems printing, please check that your remote session has the correct printer selected. You can do this by selecting the printer icon, then selecting the correct printer from the list. This needs to be your printer at home.
Restart Print Spooler
The next step to try is restarting the print spoolers. To do this you will need to complete the following steps on the work PC.
Step 1
Search for ‘services’ in the toolbar at the bottom of the screen.
Open the ‘services’ application.
On the right-hand side of the application, scroll down until you see ‘Printer Spooler’, select this.
Restart the ‘Printer Spooler’ by selecting ‘Restart’ on the left-hand side
Step 2
The final thing we can try is to restart the print drivers on the work PC. To do this you will need to:
Open LogMeIn Control Panel on the work computer. You can do this by searching ‘LogMeIn Control Panel’.
Click ‘Options’ and then ‘Preferences’
Step 3
Click on the ‘Advanced’ tab and then click on ‘Reinstall Printer Driver’, then click ‘OK’.
Step 4
Once you have completed all of the above steps, please restart your work PC and try printing.
