Controlling another computer remotely
What you can do during a remote control session
Transferring the contents of the Windows clipboard
configured remote printing, you can print files to the default printer for the host
computer.
When adding a printer, the host user must have the correct drivers for the remote
computer. Symantec pcAnywhere prompts you for the location of the printer,
what port to use, and other configuration information.
To configure remote printing
1
In the Symantec pcAnywhere window, on the Edit menu, click Preferences.
2
In the pcAnywhere Options window, on the Remote Printing tab, click Add
Printer.
To find this tab, click the left and right arrows in the pcAnywhere Options
window to scroll through the tabs.
3
Follow the on-screen instructions to set up the information for the printer
on the remote computer.
If the printer that the remote computer uses is not listed, you must install
the drivers first, and then repeat this procedure.

Click OK.
The Windows clipboard contains information that is cut or copied from another
application. During a remote control session, you can transfer text or graphics
that are contained in the clipboard between the host and remote computers.
If the host and remote computers are running pcAnywhere 12.0, the clipboard
contents are automatically synchronized between the host and remote computers.
If you are connecting to a host computer that is running a previous version of
pcAnywhere, you should turn off the option to automatically transfer clipboard
contents. You can manually transfer clipboard contents during the session.
To turn off the automatic transfer of clipboard content
1
Before you start a session, in the Symantec pcAnywhere window, on the Edit
menu, click Preferences.
2
In the pcAnywhere Options window, on the Remote Operation tab, uncheck
Automatically transfer host and remote clipboard content.

Click OK.
