Printing in AVD is handled a little differently than a traditional cloud desktop.  Printing options differ depending on how you connect to your AVD session.

Printing from HTML 5 Web Session

From within an HTML 5 web session you will notice a Remote Desktop Virtual Printer.  Printing to this printer will create a .PDF file that is saved to your downloads folder.  You will then print that .PDF from your local printer.

Printing from Remote Desktop Session
