Windows 10: Printers not being redirected through remote desktop sessions

Hello.My team is making some changes on the server infrastructure and we are going through a real pain trying to redirect printers.We have an old server which is working fine and redirecting the printers without any problem.We copied the same settings but in Windows Server 2019, shared the exact same folders and did everything the same way but this new server is not showing any local printer on the remote desktop sessions for a team working outside the office.We shared the forlder C:\Windows\System32\spooler\drivers giving all the domain users full rights in case drivers need to be installed

Windows 10 is not redirecting my printer during a remote desktop session

First thank you for your response.

• Both systems (local and remote) have the same latest printer driver downloaded from the manufacturer.
• When I mentioned that the issue was resolve on previous opportunities, I was referring to another occasion with a different printer and other versions of Windows and Hardware, but with a similar redirection problem.

Its Remote Desktop that sensitive to different driver version on each side, I was always with the impression that the local system will share its printer drivers (provided that the printer local resource is checked) to the remote system when the local printer
was not configured on the remote system. In my case, my local printer was not configured on the remote system, and the redirection never worked, that when I decide to create a dummy printer on the remote system with the same drivers, but it didn'y worked either.

Hope this information helps you have a better picture of the scenario.

Yours,

Juan Santaella

Hi Juan,

In order for us to better assist you with your concern, we just have few questions for you:

• Were there any changes made to your computer prior to the issue?
• When you say "not directing my printer during a remote desktop session" are you getting an error message/code?
• Since you've mentioned that the issue has been resolved in the past by installing the printer on the remote system as a local printer using a local port (FILE, have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling it?

Regards.

We try a separate connection from another Windows 7 Local System that have a Brother Printer directly attached to it via USB to the remote system using the remote desktop software, but regardless, remote desktop did not redirect the printer to the local
directly connect Brother printer.
