Use of Citrix Universal Printer Driver (Citrix
UPD) ensures that all printers connected to a client can also be used
from a virtual desktop or application session without integrating
a new printer driver in the data center. Citrix UPD is the base of
Citrix Universal Printer. It is an auto-created printer object that
uses the Citrix UPD and is not tied to any specific printer defined
on the client.
To configure
the Citrix UPD usage on ThinOS:
Connect a printer to ThinOS client.
From the desktop menu, click System Setup, and then click Printer.
The Printer Setup dialog
box is displayed.
Enter the name of the printer in the Printer Name box.
Enter any string of the Printer identification in the Printer
Identification box.
Select the type of the printer class from the drop-down list, select
the check box to enable the printer device and then click OK.
Start a Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops (formerly Citrix XenDesktop) or Citrix Virtual Apps (formerly Citrix XenApp) application connection.
Open the Devices and Printers in the desktop or application, notice
the printer is mapped as UPD printer by default. You can use the HP-LaserJet-P2035
[UPD:PCL5c] to perform the print job.
Citrix UPD configuration on server
To enable
the printer policy, use the following guidelines:
To enable
the printer policy in Citrix Virtual Apps 6.5– Go to the DDC Server, click Start > Citrix AppCenter .
Click Citrix Resources > XenApp > Policies > User > Settings > Printing > Client Printers and enable the Auto-create generic universal printer.
Click Printing > Drivers and set the Universal
print driver usage to Use universal printing only from
the drop-down menu available.
To enable the printer policy in Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7.5 and later versions,
do the following:

Citrix DDC server,
Click Citrix studio > policies and add a policy. Enable the Auto-create generic
universal printer option.
Set the Universal print driver usage to Use
universal printing only from the drop-down menu.
Check registry and make sure the same driver has been installed.
Check the drivers in registry of the server or desktop
which you want to connect. The server or desktop must have ps, pcl5,
pcl4 drivers in the registry and the same driver must be installed
on the server or desktop.
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\UniversalPrintDrivers\. ThinOS does not support EMF and XPS.
