Abstract
Secure printing may be performed in a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) in a virtualized computing environment. When a file is selected for secure printing, print data for the file is stored, and a corresponding entry is created in a metadata map. A message is sent to a user device to inform a user that the file is available for secure printing. The message may include a uniform resource locator (URL) link having a hash code corresponding to the stored print data. If the user accesses the URL link to request the secure printing, the hash code is retrieved from the URL link and compared against the entry in the metadata map. If there is a match between the hash code and the entry in the metadata map, the file is sent to a target local printer for printing.
