Installing the ScrewDrivers® Endpoint Client for Linux

The ScrewDrivers® Endpoint Client for Linux automatically maps local printers that are defined via CUPS to the remote desktop session (via the Citrix Workspace, FreeRDP, or Igel client)

The remote desktop must have either ScrewDrivers Essentials or ScrewDrivers Enterprise installed and configured to allow local printer mapping.

Installation

1. Install the appropriate remote desktop client for your environment

   • Citrix: Install, Uninstall, and Upgrade (citrix.com)

   • FreeRDP:

     Code Block
     $ sudo apt-get install freerdp2-x11

   • Igel: If you are running an Igel thin client, the client is already present on your system.

2. Download the latest ScrewDrivers Client install script from https://www.tricerat.com/client-downloads

3. Run the script

   Code Block
   $ tar -zxvf ScrewDriversEndpoint_7.2.0.20456_Linux.tar.gz $ cd ScrewDriversEndpoint_7.2.0.20456_Linux # Run ./install.sh -h for detailed usage, or to install all plugins: $ ./install.sh -i citrix freerdp igel

Launching the Client

• Citrix
  Our install script places entries in Citrix's /etc/icaclient/nls/en/module.ini file so that it automatically loads our client plugin on launch.

• FreeRDP
  Launch the FreeRDP client with /dvc:sdfreerdp as an argument:

  Code Block
  Example: $ freerdp /v:termserv.mycompany.com /u:myusername /dvc:sdfreerdp

• Igel
  Launch the Igel client with --dvc=libsdigelrdp-client.so as an argument
