Jimmy_Wu Hi, The computers do not see the on premise AD shared printers, but they show a list of the discovered printers on local subnet like on a home network.
Jan_E950, Unfortunately, I'm not aware of a way to disable the local subnet printer discovery functionality within Windows. Since the local subnet responds much faster, the results are displayed ahead of the response from Universal Print.
