Can you print to your local printer with the free version of this?

I tried last night.

Screens came up faster , but I couldn't figure out how to print localy

No, you cannot print, drag and drop file transfers and a few other things with the FREE version.

What I have done is to have 1 PAID version and all other computers are on the free version. That way, if I need to print something, I go the PAID version computer.

Most of the time I can just get what I need with the free version of logmein by reading the info on the screen. On those ocassions where I need a hard copy I just "print" the document to a PDF file and then either fax it to myselef (if I'm near a fax machine) or email the documents to myself as an attachement and then print it locally. Not quite as quick as the local print option that DoctorWAW usese but it gets the job done and it doesn't cost me anything.

Absolutely a good way to do that, and I have certainly used these options as well

In addition to the other methods that I mentioned previously, I've also found an extremely useful utility called dropbox (at www.dropbox.com) where you can set up a free online 2GB file share space which allows you to seamlessly move files between any computer that has the drop box utility setup and even a iphone or android based smart phone. So you could just slide the file into dropbox and then print it out at any other computer.

The Log me in became a dead issue for me yesterday, as IT at the hospital told me that as the log me in is a web based product, they can't control the flow of information and they will not grant its use.

I was advised to continue to use RDP (which is less secure according to my IT guy.

I think the less secure issue is more in product selection rather than a global issue. We use Keyend server and run AC as well as other critical apps on this "cloud" server. We explored many companies and choices and found them to be the best for what we needed. YMMV.
