Why printing from Azure Virtual Desktop can be challenging

Printing from Azure Virtual Desktop is challenging because your printer must be connected to a Windows host that's running RDP, and in our case, we're printing from a Linux client. This can be difficult because most printers only support a single protocol. If a printer supports Bluetooth, it typically only supports Bluetooth, not the more common USB or Ethernet. This makes it difficult to get your printer to work with RDP. Luckily, there are several solutions available. Install Microsoft's RDP Virtual Printer on your Linux client.

Microsoft's RDP Virtual Printer (RVPr) allows you to print from your Linux client to a printer that is connected to the Windows host running Remote Desktop. RVP is a virtual printer driver that takes data sent to a specific port and converts it into a print job. This means you can install RVPr on any Windows machine, and print from any Linux client to the printer connected to that Windows host.

Drivers

Drivers for the RVP are available for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X. Configure RVPr as a local printer on your Linux client. You can install RVPr as a local printer on your Linux client. Before you can print from applications on your Linux client to the RDP virtual printer, you have to add a line for that printer in the cup file.

Printer redirection

Windows printer redirection. If you want to print from a remote host, then you can use printer redirection in Windows. This will allow any application on that Windows host to send its output to the RVP. The first step is to enable printer redirection on the Windows client. Open the Control Panel and click Printers. Right-click the RDP virtual printer and choose Properties. Click the Advanced tab, check Enable printer redirection, and then click OK. Now you need to point any application, like Word or Notepad, to use the RDP virtual printer. Open up a supported application and click File|Print. In the Print dialog box, under Printer, click Change Settings. Click the Add button and then select Remote Desktop Virtual Printer. Click OK, and then click Print. All output from the application will now be sent to the RVP.

Cloud printing

Cloud printing is also supported with RDP, but it is not enabled by default. You can enable it in the Windows client by opening the Control Panel and clicking Programs Administrative Tools Remote Desktop Connection Client. In the RDC dialog box, click the Local Resources tab and check Enable Cloud Printing. Click OK. Note that this setting is specific to the currently logged-in user; if you need to set up cloud printing for all users, see the Microsoft article Enable Cloud Printing in Windows.
