Citrix Universal Print Server Explanation

[Florent GUILLOT]

Hello,

I'm here to get information about Citrix Universal Print Server

(Sorry I do not speak English)

Futur Environment: Xen Apps 7.15 CU4
In user sessions 99% of printers are mapped from the Windows Print Server (GPO)


- This CUPS option is a layer that is installed over the Windows Print Server?

The assignment of printers can be done as per GPO?

- At the parameter level is it possible to set defaults like windows default (example a4 and black / white)?

[Fiel Cabral]

Yes CUPS is software that is installed on a computer that acts as a Windows Print Server.

https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/citrix-virtual-apps-desktops/system-requirements.html#universal-print-server

The assignment of printers can be done using the Citrix (not Microsoft) Policy Settings "Session Printers" and "Printer Assignments" which are edited using Citrix Studio or Microsoft group policy editor.

Print job settings can be overridden for each network printer connection.

Yes the client is installed automatically as part of the VDA.

Hello everyone,

I installed the UPS module on the print server.

Is there a parameter to check to see if it is already active?

in my strategy citrix (studio) I defined like this:

The problem when I run my session citrix, WEM try to install the printers but it asks me to install the windows drivers

 

 

What is my mistake?

Hello,

The printers sent by the WEM tool and not by the citrix strategy is that the problem?
