Dell ThinOS 2402 Administrator’s Guide

Configure the Citrix UPD printer

Use of Citrix Universal Print Driver (Citrix UPD) ensures that all printers that are connected to the thin 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 autocreated printer object that uses the Citrix UPD and is not tied to any specific printer defined on the client.

   2. Click Global Connection Settings.

   NOTE:In ThinOS, only PS class is supported.
