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...

Are you connecting via HTML browser or RDP session? What OS is the local machine?

    stevenzelenko Due to the nature of the web client, printing behaves a little differently. When trying to print, there should be a printer called Remote Desktop Virtual Printer (redirected X). It should be the default printer. Selecting this printer will allow you to print to a PDF that gets sent to the local device where you can print to your local printer.

     

    Hope this helps.
