Not able to use local printers on remote device
I am using AWS EC2 Windows server 2019 instance. I am assessing the instance using the Remote desktop Connection. But i am not able use my local printer in the remote device, i have allowed local resources, i have also given full access permissions to the users. I also have installed the printer driver.

I have tried installing two print drivers
1. After installing print driver for Epson wired printer, i can see the printer in the control panel, but on giving the print command, there is nothing happening. while it works fine on my local device
2. There is another printer driver i tried installing is a hp wireless printer, while i was installing the driver it prompted me to connect to the printer via USB, but then it dint showed that it was connected and the installation cannot take place completely.
But i am seeing the printer on the control panel. And again on sending the print command nothing happens.

Depends on your local printer, most cheaper host-based printers rely on local client machines software to process the print job (separate from the spooler process) but when you're using RDC the host is doing this not the client. If your printer is supported for RDC then you need to make sure you are using the correct driver (the RDC supported driver isn't necessarily the one you have installed), some printers also still won't work in an RDC environment unless matching drivers are installed both on the host and client.
So firstly - which printer are you trying to use?

I am using HP MFP M126nw
Ok so share it out from your local machine and map to it from your remote machine and then print.

"But i am not able use my local printer in the remote device" any errors, saying you can't use it doesn't help at all for diagnostics
