- If more than one local printer is configured, the printing operation will be performed using the default printer.
- 'RemotePC Printer' will be displayed only during active remote sessions.
- RemotePC Printer is not supported for/in CLI (headless) Linux machines.
We have a shared server that all of our remote employees access from their homes. All have individual users they connect to on the server using Remote Desktop. My question is, how can they print to their local printers? If you can give step by step instructions that would be great. Thank you!
I have this selected on the remote machines. But then what do I have to do to the server? Do I have to add a printer? I think rackspace (the company we have the server with) has all printer services disabled by default. Do I have to enable a certain one?
If the redirected printers aren't showing up, it's possible they are disabled in the local policy since it sounds like it isn't a domain joined server. Check the settings there. The Printer Spooler services obviously has to be running on the server. You should only need to install drivers in some rare cases.

I have two computers both running Windows 7 Professional x64. One computer has a USB printer connected (Dell V715W) which is working properly. When I create a RDP connection from the PC with the printer to the other PC, the printer is not shared.
RDP is not a means of sharing resources, just of bringing over your local resources during the session for your own use. And even then you might have problems if computer B doesn't have the right printer driver installed.
In addition to enabling the Printers option in the RDP setting, you also need to install the printer driver on the computer you are connecting to. Once you do that, you can select the printer for printing.
Alternatively, you can enable a HomeGroup in Windows 7 that will allow you to share printers between any computers connected to your local network. This would eliminate the need to select the Printers option in the RDP settings.
we are using Remote Desktop to connect to Azure Virtual Desktops. In the RDP options we enable Printers under the Local Resources tab. This has worked well for a while and users are able to print using the locally installed printers on the client running RDP. A feature that always worked until recently is when users go to print, they could click properties on the print dialog and it would display the printer preferences. This has stopped working and we are not sure why. Now when users click Properties a couple of errors show up. They say:Printing Preferences - The printer has been redirected by the Remote Desktop Connection client.The printing preferences for the client printer will automatically display in a separate window, where you can review your settings or make changes.Sorry, you can't change printer properties.To change these properties, open Remote Desktop Connection on the desktop and connect to .
I have a new TR8520 that installs to my local PC fine, but when I try and print to it while connected to a remote PC, the job sends to my local print queue, and the printer says "processing" but the job never actually prints. I have reinstalled multiple times from the online and provided drivers. I have updated the printer's firmware. THe printer is connected via wifi. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
The Lexmark WiFi printer is set up as a local printer, and prints OK locally. When I go RDC, the printer does not show up in the RDC printer list. I have in my RDC resources list printers checked off, and I even configured the printer as a USB printer to see if it would show up in the RDC, but no luck yet.
Ok, you have a WiFi printer at home, that you can print to from your computer. You are remoting in from home over VPN to a server, and you want to print to your printer back home. As long as you have that box checked on teh RDP client, you should be good. WiFi or not, VPN or not, it should work. What version of RDP client do you have? What version of server are you remoting to?
this will workaround any problems with the port name of the printer, now when u RDP to the other system, jus set the shared printer as your default before connecting and u should be good to go. again assuming the other machine has the same driver that u are using.
Printer for Remote Desktop is a printing solution for remote desktop and cloud environments. It allows you to print on your local printer directly from remote desktop session without installing printer drivers and using insecure printer sharing or file transfers.
The program consists of Workstation and Server parts. Workstation part should be installed on the local computer or thin client. Server part installs on the remote server and creates FabulaTech Virtual Printer. The virtual printer is mapped to a locally plugged hardware printer or even network printer over the existing remote desktop connection.
Printer for Remote Desktop takes care of your confidential information. In case of multi-user environment (Windows Server OS), if there are more than one user logged in to the remote side, each printer is isolated within user's individual session. So you don't need to worry that your sensitive document will be sent to somebody's printer, even by mistake. Each user can see only his own printers within the remote session, so there's no need to scroll through the list of devices to find your printer.
Printer for Remote Desktop works with all brands of printers so there is no need to purchase some specific hardware. The program supports all standard printing features, all color modes and resolutions and all standard paper sizes both portrait and landscape orientation.
As you can see, this is a chain of events that depends on a series of successful queries and responses. Any failure at any point along that chain can result in remote desktop printer redirection not working and, among many other errors, the printer not showing.
Printer redirection might actually be one of the biggest issues that users face with Microsoft Remote Desktop Services. Several issues might occur when using a remote desktop printer with Microsoft RDP Client:
Parallels RAS remote desktop printing allows you to print without the requirement of installing printer drivers. Users can therefore print without installing drivers, regardless of the type and brand of the printer installed. Furthermore, Universal Printing is automatically installed with Parallels RAS, reducing the complexity of installation and management.
Printer for Remote Desktop is a reliable and easy-to-use solution for remote desktop printing. It allows to use your local printer in a remote desktop environment through Microsoft RDP, Citrix ICA, Amazon NICE DCV, VMware Blast and Teradici PCoIP.
The program creates a virtual printer on the remote server and maps it to the local printer as if your local printer were plugged directly to the server side. So, you can print to your local printer from the remote session or application.
disclaimer I am not a deep dive Windows Sysadmin but play one on TV. I have users who access a legacy app remotely via remote desktop and they need to print. I have gone through the hoops of gpedit.msc to make sure there are no policies restricting redirection of printing, that the 'connect printers' checkbox is enabled in rdp from a clients perspective and that the driver is installed on the server in question from print management. Still I cannot seem to get networked printers (through a printer queue) to be redirected. The clients are Windows 7 and Windows 10 connecting to Windows 2016. Any help or ideas would be appreciated.
I have my HP LJ printer installed on my company laptop , we use a RDS for our ERP application. on the Remote Desktop we have our network printers installed. i have configured the HP LJ printer on the RD session and it prints perfectly when im at the office.
With Remote Desktop computing, you can connect to a computer that is at work, or anywhere in the world as long as you have an internet connection. Here is the catcher. If you want to print using your local printer then you have a few steps to do in order to have the ability to print.
I changed the driver name in the registry, restarted the Print Spooler, and the name changed in the drivers list. I disconnected / reconnected to Remote Desktop, and the printer redirection worked as it should.
The first thing you need to do is verify that your printer works from your local desktop. To do this, print a test page from your printer. If the test page prints successfully, your printer is working correctly, and the issue is most likely with your Remote Desktop settings. If your printer does not print from your local desktop, there is a problem with your printer, and you will need to troubleshoot that issue before proceeding.
The only way I can get the Brother printer to appear on the Windows 7 PCs is to connect to it as \XPpc1Brothersharename, which causes a huge amount of (presumably print driver) data to be transferred across the connection (which is only about 0.5 Mbps, and so takes a couple of minutes for each logon).
All I need to do now is to find a method of making one of these redirected printers the Default printer, on the Windows 7 target PCs, once it becomes available in the Devices and Printers window. PRINTUI.EXE /y looks like a good start, provided I can run it at the correct time for a redirected printer, and can work out the other parameters!
RentalPoint systems are often deployed on Cloud Servers or Terminal Server instances. Terminal Server, now renamed Remote Desktop Services, and regular Windows Remote Desktop, offer users a way to print to local printers while logged into a remote system.
