Using FlexiSpooler with multiple users on one computer

The following guide provides information about how to use FlexiSpooler in client mode with multiple users on one computer.

FlexiSpooler in client mode can be used on CITRIX or Windows Terminal systems.

Running FlexiSpooler service can serve multiple connected Desktop Interfaces, which are identified by the username of logged user.

Installation & Configuration

  • No special installation or configuration is required.

  • As it starts, FlexiSpooler service (whether after restart, during installation or update) attempts to launch Desktop Interfaces for all the logged in users, see chapter Dispatcher Paragon Workstation Installation, Automatic launching of Desktop Interfaces from FlexiSpooler service at start.

  • Desktop Interface is started directly when the user logs in the system (via respective entry in the Windows Registry).

  • Each FlexiSpooler > Desktop Interface communication is identified by logged user username in the format domain\username.

Print Queues

  • Print queues are installed to the system so every user can see and access them.

  • Notifications that print queues are being installed are displayed to each logged user.

FlexiSpooler notifications

  • Print notifications - the job was not able to print, the problem with the analysis, etc. are displayed only to the concerned user.

Rule-Based Engine (RBE) notifications

  • RBE notifications are displayed directly to the user who sent the job ticket.

  • RBE works only in FlexiSpooler spooling client mode.
