In 2026, AWS introduced advanced printer redirection for Amazon WorkSpaces Personal, enabling Windows virtual desktop users to access device-specific printing features such as double-sided printing, paper tray selection, stapling, hole-punching, and color management. This improvement over basic printing support requires matching printer drivers on both the client and WorkSpace endpoints.
The feature includes configurable driver validation modes to balance compatibility and advanced functionality, and automatically falls back to basic printing if no suitable drivers are found. Available across all WorkSpaces Personal regions, this capability addresses enterprise needs for professional-quality printing within virtual desktop infrastructure environments.
