USB Redirected Printer and Virtual Printing

What will happen if USB Redirection and Virtual Printing Both Features are Enabled in below given scenario:-

Same Printer Can be detected with USB Redirection and as well as through Virtual Printing as both the features are enabled. My Question is How VDI Environment is going to handle this scenarion? Is this going to create conflict?

Not 100% sure but I am guessing it will create two printers. One will be the virtual printing printer and the other will be the USB redirected printer. I'll check when I get to work and let you know.

If USB direction feature and virtual printing feature are all installed, and if you are not enable "USB auto-connect" feature, the USB printer will be redirected to remote desktop via virtual printing feature automatically. Without any configuration, you are able to use the USB printer in remote desktop. This is the suggested way to use USB printer.
