Simplifying Cloud Desktop Printing: The Power of Nerdio + ezeep for AVD & Windows 365
As organizations continue shifting to cloud-first strategies, solutions like Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) and Windows 365 are transforming how end users access their work environments. But while compute and access have become simpler, printing remains one of the most persistent – and frustrating challenges in virtual desktop deployments.
This is where the combined power of Nerdio and ezeep Cloud Printing delivers a compelling, modern solution.
The Printing Problem in AVD & Windows 365
Anyone who has deployed AVD or Windows 365 knows that printing can quickly become a major support burden. Common challenges include:
Complex printer mapping across sessions and locations
Dependency on legacy print servers
Driver compatibility issues
Poor user experience with redirected printers
Increased helpdesk tickets and troubleshooting overhead
Traditional approaches often rely on maintaining infrastructure that contradicts the very goal of moving to the cloud: simplicity and scalability.
