I am trying to standardize on our printers. Older and more troublesome
printers we are getting rid of. All the printers that we have I install
the driver for (after testing of course). 

 

Home users, or users attempting to access Citrix from a PC with a
different printer driver of course get the UPD. Most of the time I hear
the UPD works but that just depends on the printer. I never guarantee
printing except on printers I have tested and approved. 

 

The UPD is never going to have all the printers functions (except for
simple printers) and also I hear has a tendency to spool large print
jobs. I think the best bet is to install all the printer drivers you
know you need. Then use the UPD for the one offs.

Ok, thanks.  Just curious, seems to me that if the UPD didn't seem to be
doing the trick with say one particular printer, then the only way for
us as admins to make it happen, would be to install the driver on our
servers, or to create mappings from one driver to another.  So how do
you all decide what drivers you will or will not install on your
servers?  

And BTW, we have already gone down the 3rd party road w/no luck.

 

Thanks guys,

Yes you are correct. I'm not aware of any list of printers known to work
with the UPD driver.

Background:        6 Win2k sp4 servers @ FR3

                          All HP DL360's g1 and g2

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if a client connects that has a locally
attached printer, say a Canon PC1200/iC D700, and that driver is already
installed on all of our Citrix Servers, then that printer will
autocreate and be available from within their Citrix session.  However,
if that driver is not installed on our servers then that printer should
still be autocreated, but it will use the Citrix Universal Print driver
by default, right?  So is there a list of printers or drivers somewhere
that will or will not work using the UPD?

 

Thanks,
