Host Based Printer Not working in Remote Desktop Session

“Host based” printers don’t work with Microsoft’s Easy Print Remote Desktop driver. (For example HP Laserjet p1102w)

The work around is to install the driver on the Remote Desktop server and then change group policy so the Easy Print driver is not used first in a Remote Desktop session.

Go to Computer Config -> Admin Templates -> Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services -> RD Session Host -> Printer Redirection -> Use Remote Desktop Easy Print printer driver first –> disabled.
