Note on test methodology – This is a basic summary of the testing that was performed on the feature.

Actual testing is much more extensive and, therefore, beyond the scope of this document.

Network print servers

Description

Network print servers (not running Citrix XenApp™ Server) are servers with shared printers attached

to them. Administrators import these network print servers into the Citrix XenApp™ Server farm to

make the shared printers available to all users when they connect to the server farm.

Test methodology

HP LaserJet/Business Inkjet/Designjet/Deskjet printers were attached to the print server using a

parallel cable, USB or installed by creating a TCP/IP port and connecting to the printer through

Jetdirect. These printers were configured for multiple users. Drivers for the printers were downloaded

from the HP Driver Support website.

The network print server was imported into the Citrix XenApp™ Server farm, and the availability of

shared printers was verified. A printer policy was then created for Session printers and a User filter

created for the Session printer policy for domain users, allowing domain users logged on to the

XenApp™ server farm to verify that the shared network printer was available in the client session, and

that the client could print successfully.

Known issues with network print server and HP printers and drivers

No issues were discovered when testing the Citrix XenApp™ Server Import Network Server feature

using

the HP LaserJet

/Business Inkjet/Designjet/Deskjet printers and drivers listed above.

Printer policies

Description

Policies are used to apply Citrix XenApp™ Server settings for client device mapping, for example, to

specific users, clients, and servers. Policies override similar settings configured farm-wide at the server

level or on the client. Printer policies are used for configuring settings such as autocreation, legacy

client printers, printer property retention print job routing, printer mapping, printer driver

configuration, and session printers
