CITRIX COMPATIBILITY FOR THE SAMSUNG MULTIXPRESS 6345N PRINTER WHITE PAPER
Printing from a Server
Description
Printing from a server is the process of using any of
the Citrix access options to print from a locally
connected server printer and from a network
printer.
Test Methodology
The lab connected the Samsung MultiXpress
6345N printer locally to the Citrix Presentation
Server machine by using a USB connection or a
TCP/IP connection. They installed the printer
drivers on the Server. Then the lab established an
ICA connection from the client to server by using
MS Word from the Server side. The lab verified the
printing ability of the printer drivers during the ICA
session by firing a test print using the Server local
printer drivers in the ICA session.
The lab connected the Samsung MultiXpress
6345N printer to the Host-A machine and shared
the printer in the Citrix Presentation Server machine
network. They installed the printer driver on the
server machine by using the ‘Import Network Print
Server’ feature in the Citrix Presentation Console.
The lab enabled the Session Printer Policy applied
it to the client machine. They established a new
ICA connection between the client and the server
by using MS Word from the server side. Then the
lab verified the ‘Printers and Faxes’ window for the
Network Print Server installed on the server side of
the ICA session and fired a test print to verify the
functionality of the installed network printer.
Observation
The lab successfully installed the printer drivers on
the server and printed through the server printer
driver. Then they successfully used the server
network printer to print from the server side. The
lab did not encounter any issues testing this
feature on any of the Windows Operating Systems.
Using Driver Policies
Description
Citrix Driver Policies provide a mechanism you can
use to define a collection of system settings for a
broader range of criteria than just users, groups,
and computers. Driver Policies basically, deal with
the native printer drivers and the universal printer
drivers.
Test Methodology
The lab connected the Samsung MultiXpress
6345N printer to the Citrix Presentation Client
machine by using a USB connection or a TCP/IP
connection. Then they installed the printer driver
on the client and the server machines. The lab
enabled ‘Native Printer Drivers’ and ‘Universal
Printer Drivers’ policies from the Citrix Presentation
Console of the Server.
Observation
The lab observed that Citrix successfully auto-
created the client printer drivers by only using the
native printer drivers when the ‘Native Printer
Drivers’ policy was enabled. They did not
encounter any issues testing this feature on any of
the Windows Operating Systems.
