Hello josequintino
Thank you for your answer.
I try to follow your step by step guide, but I have problem with GP path in point 2, where you guide me to "a. Navigate to "User Configuration" > "Policies" > "Administrative Templates" > "Windows
Components" > "Remote Desktop Services" > "Remote Desktop Session Host" > "Printer

Hi Tomaz9x.
Here's the corrected steps:
Open the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) on your Active Directory server.
Navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Printer Redirection.
In this location, you should find the "Do not allow client printer redirection" policy. Configure it according to your needs. Enabling this policy will prevent printer redirection for all printers, including local and network printers.
If you want to redirect only the default client printer, you can use the "Redirect only the default client printer" policy, which is also located in the same section under Computer Configuration.
