Printer management in Citrix XenApp and RDS environments has always been a pain.

 

Please add support for (WVD) Windows Virtual Desktop environments so that we simplify our printer management and support requirements.

Please include Local Printer Redirection from WVD or inside a RDP session connected through VPN, and permissions to use it based on Azure AD group memberships.

Please add this support. It seems like the key here is either enabling azure ad for wvd session hosts or finding some way around it. My current plan is to have the client devices Azure AD joined and inherit the printers there from the remote desktop session.

Super valuable and would help us deliver a more seamless and native solution (versus using 3rd party tools). Adding a +1 to this.

This would be an amazing feature, would solve so many issues with printers with WVD

Brass Contributor

what kind of "support" are you currently missing, and what kind would you like to see? 

 

An alternative of the WVD client having Printers installed, and the WVD Session getting a pass-through session seems like a possible alternative in some cases, though if they are connecting directly from Thin Clients, probably not.

my specific focus is : 

Local Printer Redirection from WVD and permissions to use it based on Azure AD group memberships.
