Printing in WVD
We cannot see a printer in the WVD desktop. My instance is that my home printer does not forward over to the WVD desktop. Is there something I should check? I am checking the box to allow printing...

Aug 25, 2021There is 2 ways to handle printing in Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD)
(1)Use AVD Web portal: https://rdweb.wvd.microsoft.com/arm/webclient. You will notice a remote desktop virtual printer. Printing to this printer will create a .PDF file that is saved to your downloads folder. Then you can print this PDF file from you local printer.
(2)Use Windows Desktop Client: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2068602.
Your local printer will redirect to you AVD remote desktop session. You can print directly within AVD remote desktop session.

When logging into the WVD, the remote virtual printer is not showing up. The printer was present just yesterday but is now gone. Any ideas?
