In Windows 2016 our client printers are redirected without issues .All local printers are redirected and the Remote Desktop Easy Print is taken as default driver. The client is used to log into windows 2019 terminal server but the printers are not getting redirected. Why there is difference in behaviour. Printer direction settings in gpedit is all set to Not Configured.

    Hi there,

    In the RDP connection properties, the option Printers redirections should be enabled on the Local Resources tab. Check this on the client-side RDP connection properties. You can also quickly verify the below steps to make sure you have enabled the easy print.

    -Open the local (gpedit.msc) or domain (GPMC.msc) Group Policy Editor console.
    -Navigate to the following GPO section Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Printer Redirection (similar settings are available in the User`s GPO section)
    -Edit and enable the policy Use Remote Desktop Easy Print driver first.
    -To update GPO settings on your RDS server, open the elevated command prompt and run the command:
    gpupdate /force
