On the host, do one of the below:
Registry
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Terminal Services
Add DWORD key UseUniversalPrinterDriverFirst and set value to 4.
(Values are Enabled = 3, Disabled = 4)
Then restart the Remote Desktop Services service.
PowerShell
New-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Terminal Services" -Name UseUniversalPrinterDriverFirst -Value 4 -PropertyType DWORD -Force
Restart-Service -Name TermService -Force
Group Policy
Open Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc)
Go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Printer Redirection.
Open "Use Remote Desktop Easy Print driver first".
Set this policy to Disabled. This will force RDP to use the real printer driver if available.
