When I RDP into my Azure VM it quickly disconnects when I select Local Resources and the checkbox for Printers. Therefore I can't get printing pass through to work. I can RDP fine without checking the printers box. Looking for assistance in troubleshooting as I'm out of ideas.
OS: Win Pro 8.1
Printers: Dell 3100cn, Dell 1600
Installed printer drivers on remote VM
If I turn off the print spooler on the VM and check the printers on the RDP connection it won't kick me out. I can turn print spooler back on and it won't disconnect but I don't have access to my local printers when connecting this way.
It might mean that you don't have suitable printer drivers on server. However there are third-party software that enables you printer redirection over RDP such as tsprint.

I have an IoT device that connects to my wifi router using wifi. There is a limitation of capturing network logs on the device itself so I thought to capture it using Wireshark.
I am using windows 10 and downloaded the latest version of Wireshark. Now that my laptop and my IoT device connect to the same network through the same router, I am not able to capture the packets in and out from my IoT device.
I put the filer as ip.addr == {ip of the IoT device). But it shows nothing.
Is it possible to capture these packets using a laptop using Wireshark?
Let me know, please.
Thanks

Is it possible to capture these packets using a laptop using Wireshark?
Yes, but your capture setup is almost certainly incorrect. In a nutshell, you need to be able to capture packets in monitor mode, and you're not doing that. Whether it's possible to do so using the WiFi card on your laptop is unknown, because not all cards support monitor mode on Windows.
Since it's impractical to provide an answer that simply repeats information already provided elsewhere, I'll refer you to the following sites for more detailed information:
The Wireshark WLAN (IEEE 802.11) capture setup wiki page
Jasper Bongertz's blog about Wireless Capture on Windows
See also my answer to this question, which basically provides the same information.
I have a Canon LPB6030w wireless printer, an Archer C9 router and a Windows 10 pro /64 computer.
The printer has been working great for months, however we lost power from a storm after which the printer would not connect.
The Archer C9 router does not show the printer in the wireless connections list.
The router has the printer IP reserved with the correct MAC address.
The printer has the correct IP, subnet mask, gateway address, SSID and the security setting is correct (I can't verify the password)
However after recycling the printer power (both by on/off switch and power cord) the printer will not connect.
My solution is the cart the printer upstairs and redo the settings through the USB cable. No changes in the router were required.
My question is: What about wireless connections that might be missing for this situation to exist? Is there some discovery process that could be missing?
Thanks

It sounds like a problem with DHCP.
You say the printer has the correct IP and the router has the correct IP for the printer but that would imply the printer has static IP settings. How can the printer have the correct IP address if it doesn't have any connection to the router to receive it? It means the printer has a static IP? Verify your router is set for DHCP and that your printer is being served an IP from the router instead of you manually assigning a static IP to your printer.
I have an application that sends ZPL print jobs via TCP/IP to a client in the network (I can configure IP and Port). I have only a USB printer available that is attached to a client. How can I send print job to the client with the USB printer, and let this client print the job with the USB printer?
Sending to the client is not the problem, I just configure the IP and some Port. But how can the client print this via the USB printer?
There are a couple of methods to do this. They all require a app on the system that the USB printer is attached to. You can send the ZPL to a generic raw driver. You can also use an SDK to send the ZPL to the USB printer. If it's a Zebra printer, we have a Java and a .NET based SDK that can do this. For a complete answer, it would be really helpful if you mentioned the platform/OS the printers will be connected to and the language the 'client' app will be written in.
I've configured a print server on Raspbian (Jessie) using CUPS, SAMBA and Avahi to publish a USB printer to iOS devices. It works fine except when it comes time to actually print, the printer isn't found. (even after selecting the printer in the Printer Options dialog in iOS.)
I believe this is either related to 1) multiple services with the same name being published by Avahi 2) some kind of timeout between printer selection and printing or 3) the address of the printer changing somehow at each access.
In order to explore the first problem, I'd like to try to disable all but the _ipp._tcp. service for the printer. (simply by sharing a printer in CUPS, I get a Printer#Server over _ipp._tcp., _ipps._tcp. and _printer._tcp.)
Has anyone tried printing using CUPS from iOS/Objective-C application?
I have an iOS application that is printing on 1 POS printer from multiple devices and when printer is busy, I am having issues. I am thinking I can build a print server in Linux using CUPS and send print request from all iOS devices to a common print server.
Any ideas/suggestions on the approach? I have setup EPSON T88v Printer on Linux Box and CUPS is working fine. Now from iOS will it be AirPrint or some other way to send request to the CUPS printer.
It depends on if the POS system is using the IOS printing api or it is sending directly to a printer over a tcp connection.
If it is using the IOS Printing API you can print to it from the app.
You can print from an iPad to a cups printer directly. The cups printer has to be discoverable and shared on the network (cups configuration). To verify that your cups printer is functioning correctly I would try to print from notes on the iPad to the newly created printer. If that is functioning than you can try the POS system. I would guess that the POS system is printing directly to the printer through a tcp connection using the proprietary esc/pos language in which case you will not be able to redirect it to a cups printer.
