Printer redirection not working in Microsoft Remote Desktop on macOS Sequoia (15.4)

Hi,

I just wanted to let you know that printing from a Microsoft Remote Desktop Beta session using a redirected printer does not appear to work on macOS Sequoia. The issue has been present since version 15.1.1 and continues in the latest 15.4 update.

I’ve tested several versions of Microsoft Remote Desktop Beta, including 10.9.3, 10.7.5, 10.6.8, and others. In all of them, the printer appears inside the RDP session, and the print job briefly enters the queue before disappearing without printing.

Additionally, in the new Windows App, as well as in Microsoft Remote Desktop Beta starting with version 10.9.4 (2160), no printers appear at all inside the RDP session — printer redirection seems to be completely absent.

For comparison, on a MacBook Pro 13" (2017) running macOS Ventura 13.7.2 with Microsoft Remote Desktop 10.9.10 (2327), everything works as expected.

Please let me know if this is a known issue or if a workaround is available.

    Hi Nina,

    This problem has been reported by multiple users after updating to iOS Sequoia 15.0. The fix is to give Microsoft Remote Desktop permission to access your local network. Go to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Local Network, then enable local network access for Microsoft Remote Desktop. If you use other apps like Windows App, consider allowing access for those as well. This should fix the connectivity issue with Microsoft Remote Desktop.

    If the issue persists or you need more help, let us know.

    Best regards,
