Abstract
Printing performance is improved during a nested remote desktop session, in which a client computing device has established a first remote desktop session with a first virtual machine that has established a second remote desktop session with a second virtual machine. When print data is generated by the second virtual machine and transmitted to the first virtual machine, upon receipt of the print data by the first virtual machine, the first virtual machine determines whether or not the print data can be handled by the first virtual machine. Upon determining that the print data cannot be handled by the first virtual machine, the first virtual machine transmits the print data to the client computing device without issuing a print instruction to print the print data locally at the first virtual machine.
