 Remote printing generally works by redirecting printer data from a 'remote session' to a 'local printer'.  The **remote session** is usually a Remote Desktop (RDP) session.  The **local printer** is usually a printer connected to the the Remote Desktop client PC or device. Remote printing generally works by redirecting printer data from a 'remote session' to a 'local printer'.  The **remote session** is usually a Remote Desktop (RDP) session.  The **local printer** is usually a printer connected to the the Remote Desktop client PC or device.

 Microsoft includes their **Printing Redirection** technology, which is generally very good, but requires the printer driver (of the remote printer) to be installed on the server.  This can be **very** problematic, depending on the printer.  However, **Microsoft now includes a great many printer drivers with modern Windows** operating systems which really helps avoid printer driver problems. Microsoft includes their **Printing Redirection** technology, which is generally very good, but requires the printer driver (of the remote printer) to be installed on the server.  This can be **very** problematic, depending on the printer.  However, **Microsoft now includes a great many printer drivers with modern Windows** operating systems which really helps avoid printer driver problems.
