#Bullzip vs cutepdf pdf
The Adobe PDF Printer is created on the AppStack during the provisioning process but, when attached to a Linked Clone VM, all the printers (XPS, Fax, OneNote) are removed and Adobe PDF Printer doesn't show up on the Linked Clone VM.ĪppStack was updated with new version of the Agent 2.12 from Agent 2.11, the master image for the linked cloned VDI pool was updated to Agent 2.12 from Agent 2.11 and the App Volumes Manager Server was updated to 2.12 from 2.11. We are experiencing the same problem, our original baseline AppStack includes, Java 8 U21, Shockwave, Adobe Reader DC and Acrobat Pro 11. Hope this helps until VMware can address. After applying the above the local printers showed and after doing a repair on the app that installed an additional local printer they all appeared. This worked in my environment and I had two local printers on the golden image and one in the AppStack. Otherwise you may get local printers, but the CutePDF printer will still not appear. If you have applications like CutePDF that install local printers as part of your AppStack capture you may have to repair/reinstall that app after performing the above steps or recreate the install from scratch after apply the above settings first. Drill down to the mountpoint and unique ID folders and edit the file snapvol.cfg and add the following lines in the exclude_registry area (or anywhere if you're messy).Įxclude_registry=\REGISTRY\MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\PrintersĮxclude_registry=\REGISTRY\MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Print\Printers Once provisioning has started on the capture machine browse to C:\snapshotvolumetemp\ and press enter (hidden volume when provisioning is being performed)ģ. Stage your appstack to be updated and set it up on your provisioning (capture) machine.Ģ. This will need to be performed on all existing and new appstacks ġ.
They are working on a permanent resolution, but this workaround did the trick in my environment Apparently VMware made some changes in 2.12 that took away some exclusions for printer settings in the registry.
