Nerdio and ezeep for AVD & Windows 365 Printing
By Scott Seden on March 18, 2026

As organizations shift to cloud-first strategies, Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) and Windows 365 simplify how users access work. However, printing often remains a persistent challenge in these virtual desktop deployments. The combined power of Nerdio and ezeep cloud printing offers a modern solution to this problem.
This powerful duo eliminates print server problems, driver issues, and complex setups, ensuring easy and reliable printing within your cloud desktop environment. You can achieve driverless printing and central management, making printing the boring part of your day.
The Printing Problem in AVD & Windows 365
Anyone deploying AVD or Windows 365 knows printing can become a major support burden. These environments often face issues like complex printer mapping, reliance on legacy print servers, driver compatibility problems, poor user experience with redirected printers, and increased help desk tickets.
Traditional approaches require maintaining infrastructure that goes against the goal of moving to the cloud, which is simplicity and scalability.
