Cause: The printer that is connected to the Mac is not available to the Windows-based computer.
 | Solution: Set printer preferences to make the printer available. |
-
On the RDC menu, click Preferences.
-
Click Printers, and then select the Use a printer that is connected to the Mac check box.
-
Select the printer that you want.
 | Tip If you want to select a printer at the time that you print, select All printers. |
Cause: Terminal Services Group Policy does not allow printer sharing.
 | Solution: Contact the network administrator about your Terminal Services Group Policy. |
Group Policy overrides any preference that you set in Remote Desktop Connection.
When Group Policy prevents printer sharing, you cannot print documents from your Windows-based computer to a printer that is connected to the Mac.
Cause: The printer connection cable is loose, or the printer that is connected to the Mac is turned off.
 | Solution: Check the status of the printer. |
 | Tip To verify that the printer is connected to the Mac, on the Apple menu, click System Preferences, and then under Hardware, click Print & Fax. |
