Configuring the Citrix UPD printer
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:
1. Connect a printer to ThinOS client.
2. From the desktop menu, click System Setup, and then click Printer.
The Printer Setup dialog box is displayed.
3. Enter the name of the printer in the Printer Name box.
4. Enter any string of the Printer identification in the Printer Identification box.
5. 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.
6. Start a Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops (formerly Citrix XenDesktop) or Citrix Virtual Apps (formerly Citrix XenApp)
application connection.
7. 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.
