I Have Upgraded To PLUS But My Remote Printing Isn’t Working ​

Remote printing can seem a little complicated, but usually errors with this can be resolved with a simple fix. Below are some steps to follow to try and resolve the issue. 

Restart Work PC

The first step to try whenever you are having issues within the remote session is to restart the work PC.  You should restart your work PC every day as this helps prevent any issues in the remote session.  In order for the issue to be resolved you must restart the PC by clicking ‘Start’ > ‘Restart’. 

Ensure Printer Is Connected

The next step to try, is to check that your home computer is connected to the printer you wish to print from. Please check the printer is switched on and connected to your home computer. 

Select Your Printer

If you are having problems printing, please check that your remote session has the correct printer selected. You can do this by selecting the printer icon, then selecting the correct printer from the list. This needs to be your printer at home.
