It doesn't work with my dye sub printer or HP network laser. I tried. Documents never arrive at the printer.
Windows has had remote desktop since 1997. It's had remote assistance since 2002.
I've spent 7 hours a day, 5 days a week for 5 years working over remote desktop sessions with shared sound, disks, printers and even recently USB devices. That's awesome.
- VikingCoder 13y agoGoogle has two-factor authentication and does the tunneling for Chrome Remote Desktop for you, so you don't have to set it up. From my Chromebook, I can remote control a Mac or a Linux box, too. You've tried setting up Cloud printing on your desktop, printing to your HP network laser, and then using it remotely from another Chrome, and it never worked? Your experience is the opposite of mine - it works great.
- csmuk 13y agoRemote assistance requires no configuration. It doesn't do two factor authentication though. I have PuTTY which is pretty good at remotely controlling my OpenBSD machines. I don't use OSX. That is correct. Nothing at all happened.
- VikingCoder 13y agoI can remote into my home desktop right now. I believe with Remote Assistance, someone has to set it up on both ends, correct? I wouldn't be surprised if your workplace is blocking Cloud Printing. That's a bummer.
- csmuk 13y agoThat is correct. I wouldn't want it any other way. Two-factor or not,a compromised google account is a lot of eggs in one basket. Normal remote desktop is available to my desktop machine via authenticating with the firewall first. It doesn't. My workplace is home and I am the network administrator.
