Hello,

You can use logon script as a workaround:

Copy this command to your logon script

rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /y /n "Printer Name"

Deploy it in your group policy to ensure it will run when you restart.

Use Group Policy (recommended) to set default printers for RDP users in Windows Server 2019. Navigate to User Configuration > Preferences > Control Panel Settings > Printers. Create a new shared printer and set it as default. Update Group Policy on servers and clients.
