(ii) HP does not recommend installing these host-based LaserJet drivers on the Citrix server; however, the devices may
function by using the Citrix UPD on the Citrix server with the HP host-based driver installed on the client. Print drivers for
your product may be available within the Windows 7 operating system.
HP color multifunction printers with HP Edgeline Technology and
supported driver versions
Table 2 identifies the HP color multifunction printers with Edgeline technology, along with the minimum levels of associated
drivers that are supported in Citrix environments by HP. These printers and printer drivers were tested by HP. For a
description of issue resolutions and known product limitations, refer to Issues when using HP printers in Citrix environments.
Note
The driver versions in this table reflect the information that was available at the time of publication. Subsequent to
publication, newer drivers may have been released, and some drivers may no longer be available for download from the HP
website. For many of the devices listed below, the HP UPD can be used. For the most current driver information, please

listed in this table are acceptable and are supported.
Using the HP UPD in Citrix environments
The HP UPD version 5.7.x, freely available at hp.com/go/upd, is supported by HP in Citrix and Terminal Server environments.
HP has tested the HP Universal Print PCL 5 driver, HP Universal Print PCL 6 driver, and the HP Universal PS emulation driver
in Citrix environments.
Citrix Ready status
UPD 5.5 PCL 5, PCL 6, and PS (64-bit) are listed as Citrix Ready. See citrix.com/ready/en/hewlett-packard/hp-universal-
printer-driver for more information.
Traditional Mode
The HP UPD can be installed in Traditional Mode on the Citrix server and will perform as a print driver for all compatible
auto-created printers or redirected printers.
For auto-created printers, the HP Universal Print PCL 5 driver can be mapped to print to all PCL 5-capable HP client printers.
Similarly, the HP Universal Print PS emulation driver can be mapped to print to all PS-capable HP client printers through
driver mapping in the Citrix management tools.
To install the HP UPD in Traditional Mode, download the software from hp.com/go/upd and run install.exe from the
command line on the server; alternatively, you can use the Add Printer Wizard or the Add Printer Driver Wizard. You can then
configure mapping from within the Citrix server.
For Terminal Server 2003 SP1 configurations, the HP UPD can be configured as the PCL or PS fallback driver when installed
in Traditional Mode.
