  • 0x80070709 - The printer name is invalid
    • This usually happens when the printer name in the GPO does not match the exact printer name on the print server.
  • 0x80070bc4 - No printers were found
    • The printer might not be available at the time of login, or there is a network connectivity issue.
  • 0x80070771 - The specified printer has been deleted
    • The printer may have been removed from the print server or renamed, and the GPO is still trying to apply the old name.

    • Verify Printer Names in Group Policy Preferences (GPP)

      • Open Group Policy Management (GPMC) on your domain controller.
      • Navigate to User Configuration > Preferences > Control Panel Settings > Printers.
      • Check the exact printer name in the policy and compare it with the actual name on the print server.
      • If using a network printer, ensure you are using the full UNC path:
      • ✅ Correct Format: \\PrintServer\PrinterName
        ❌ Incorrect Format: PrinterName or \\PrintServer
      • If any changes are made, force a GPO update:gpupdate /force

      • Enable Group Policy Debug Logging for Printers

        To get detailed logs on why printers are failing to apply:

        1. Open Registry Editor (regedit.exe) on the AVD session host.
        2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print
        3. Create a new DWORD (32-bit) Value called "GPPDebugLevel" and set it to 3.
        4. Restart the Print Spooler Service:
        5. f there are connectivity issues, check:
          ✅ Firewall rules allowing SMB (port 445)
          ✅ No network latency or VPN blocking
