Last updated on April 13, 2026

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) environments like Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop, VMware Workspace, and Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops provide centralized access to desktops, apps, and data from any device and location. While VDI excels at administration and security, managing printing within these environments is often a challenge.
Many organizations resort to "redirecting" printers from a user's device into their virtual environment or building complex connections between cloud-based virtual environments and physical printers. This approach leads to hidden costs and ongoing maintenance struggles.
There is a better, more cost-effective, and reliable way to provide printing for users in virtual environments. This approach simplifies management and maintenance, ensuring printing just works without complex workarounds.

What can you expect from better VDI printing?
Improving VDI printing means you gain concise technical information and actionable tips. It helps you understand how agents connect local printers for PC, Mac, and IGEL devices and optimize printing within your virtual desktop landscape. Replacing diverse printer queues and complex printer mapping with a unified, cloud-driven approach is a significant advantage for IT departments.
