Random Default printer in Terminal Sessions
Dear Experts,
We have some problems with RDS and default printer settings.
My first thought was the checkbox "Redirected Printers" in the RDP icon.
But even when i disabled this, users get a random printer assigned as their default.
Most of the time its a complete other printer. or the PDF writer.
I tried several group policy settings like.
Do not set default client printer to be default printer in a session
Still it jumps everytime.
Problem is. users need to redirect printers and some users dont need redirected printers.
And they all want their own default printer obviously.
Any suggestions? where to start?

They Connect to a Windows Server 2012 R2 Terminal Server. with connection broker and gateway with load balancing.
Clients are Windows 10 Pro 64x. Printers are locally installed on the terminal server and print over a IPSec VPN.
Users outside the main location use redirected printers, because they dont have the IPSec site to site vpn.
I will try and set the XPS printer as default.

Does it happen if you select a printer that is built-in, as well? Try to set the built-in xps printer or pdf printer as default.
