The Citrix UPD is not a driverless solution. UPD is an actual print =
driver
that tends to be compatible with a lot of printers and can be used when =
the
native driver is either not available or is problematic. With UPD, the =
print
job is still processed on the server with a print driver and then
transferred to the client. This means that the transfer to the client is =
the
fully expanded print output and can be quite large.
A Driverless printing solution is able to re-direct the raw print =
command
stream to the client device. At the client device the print driver is =
called
and used to process and expand the print output. As a result, the amount =
of
data transferred to the client is far less. In addition, the print =
driver
does not need to reside on the server and many issues are thereby =
bypassed
which often occur on Citrix servers with print drivers.

Subject: [THIN] Thin Print vs UPD
Hi List,
=20
Can anyone explain when Thin Print and when the Universal Printer driver =
is
used. So what are the advantages of Thin Print compared to Citrix =
Universal
Printer driver. Is UPD good enough for "driverless" printing ? Any =
issues
with UPD in large environments ?

With regards,
Ruben Spruijt
