● Citrix Universal Print Driver support—This method allows Citrix hosts to automatically create printer queues based on
the peripheral management printers settings of the ThinOS client. The following details are used by the host print manager
to automatically create the printer queues:
○ Name—Printer queue name.
○ Class—Printer class that is associated by the Citrix host registry to a printer-specific driver name.
NOTE: ThinOS 8.6 supports the association of PS, PCL5, and PCL4 classes. However, ThinOS 9.0 associations are
limited to the PS class only.
Limitations
● The ThinOS solution to support the client printer redirection functionality is limited to Type 3 printers only. However, the
solution is subject to changes in the future according to the changes made by Citrix.
● ThinOS supports only PS class when using the Citrix Universal Print Driver policy to automatically create ThinOS client
redirected printers. PCL5 and PCL4 classes are not supported. This is a Citrix limitation.
