GuideIssuesPrinters Unable to print through Remote Desktop Updated February 11 2025
Symptoms are when you print from a remote desktop session using a redirected printer, the printer near the user never prints.

You can check Event Viewer, open up "Applications and Services Log--> Microsoft --> Windows --> PrintService-->Operational
Look for a message like:
The print job 2 was sent through the print processor MS_XPS_PROC on printer Brother HL-L2320D series (redirected 1), driver Remote Desktop Easy Print, in the isolation mode 0 (0 - loaded in the spooler, 1 - loaded in shared sandbox, 2 - loaded in isolated sandbox). Win32 error code returned by the print processor: 0x7A.

You can check Event Viewer, open up "Applications and Services Log--> Microsoft --> Windows --> PrintService-->Admin
Look for a message like:
The document Print Document, owned by heather, failed to print on printer Brother HL-L2320D series (redirected 1). Try to print the document again, or restart the print spooler.
Data type: RAW. Size of the spool file in bytes: 228622. Number of bytes printed: 0. Total number of pages in the document: 1. Number of pages printed: 0. Client computer: \\BCINOTW03. Win32 error code returned by the print processor: 122. The data area passed to a system call is too small.

Possible fixes to try (1+2+3 fixed it for me):
1: Log out of user account on remote side and reconnect.
2: Restart remote computer
3: sfc /scannow + dism https://helpfultechnotes.com/guide/190
4: Give user full permissions to folder "C:\windows\system32\spool"
