When I print to my local printer from an Amazon WorkSpaces Windows WorkSpace, the document formatting is incorrect, or some printer features don't work.
Resolution
When you print from a WorkSpace, issues with document formatting or specific printer features might be because of one of the following reasons:
- Mismatched printer drivers
- A Group Policy that doesn't allow advanced remote printing
To resolve these issues, complete the following steps:
-
Verify that the latest version of the WorkSpaces client is installed on the host computer.
-
Confirm that a WorkSpaces Group Policy that allows basic and advanced remote printing is installed in your domain.
-
Run the following Windows PowerShell command to update the Group Policy:
gpupdate /force
-
Run the following Windows PowerShell command to check whether the latest printer driver is installed on the local host and in the Windows WorkSpace:
Get-PrinterDriver
-
Reboot the WorkSpace.
