Windows 10: RDS printer redirection stopped working with Windows 10 version 1809

We've rolled out our first Windows 10 version 1809 laptops and users of those devices notified us that they no longer see session printers in our RDS environment.


RDS envrionment 1 is a server farm consisting of 8 load balanced 2012R2 servers.

RDS environment 2 is a server farm consisting of 4 load balanced 2016 servers.


Computers connecting to these farms with any Windows 7 flavour or Windows 10 v 1803 or below, don't have any problem with redirected printers.

As soon as the computer runs v1809, the redirected printer is absent.

Event viewer on servers show no intention of installing a redirected printer. (So no error nor a try)


Anyone else noticed this problem or even managed to solve it?

For now we stopped rolling out v 1809.

RDS Printer Question

I have a RDS server (server 2008 R2) and I share apps using its remote app functionality.
This works fine and the apps appear to be running locally on the remote clients, even though they are not.
The local printers on the remote client machines work fine from the remote apps (they are auto-redirected through TS ports by easyShare on the RDS).

Here's the question.
I would like to be able to share a printer from the RDS machine and make it available to the local applications that are running on the clients.
Is this possible?

I've been googling this for awhile but no love.

 

hp printer stops working after updating to 1809


Did you download the software package that supports Windows 10 from the HP Support site and install it with your Admin ID?

 

RDS Printer Question

I'm not 100% sure this will solve your problem but it may help. The freeware app called RedirectAllPrinters. I never had a use for it but I knew of it because I used a bunch of this guys freeware apps. It may just do exactly what easy share is already doing but just thought I'd point you it's direction. Just follow the link then go to his download page. His checkdisk app is great when you have to check multiple offline drives through a dock or usb adapter and the Reset TCP/IP app is a regular in my toolkit.
