HP UPD - HP Printers Supported in Citrix XenApp Server Environments

Technical white paper | HP printers supported in Citrix XenApp server environments

Note
Actual testing was much more extensive and is therefore beyond the scope of this document.
Various client and server systems from numerous manufacturers were used throughout the testing process. The number
of systems and configurations are outside the scope of this document.
Printers were connected to both client and server systems, and as stand-alone network printers using HP Jet direct print
server devices. Printers were connected to the client and server systems using IP addresses and USB cables.
The 32- and 64-bit printer driver versions listed are the versions that were available at time of testing. Newer versions
may be available.
Network print servers
Description
Network print servers – those not running XenApp – are servers with shared printers attached to them. Administrators add
these shared printers to the Citrix Session Printers policy in order to make them available to all users when they connect to
the server farm.
Test methodology
The HP printers listed in Table 8 were attached to the print server using a parallel cable, USB cable, or TCP/IP port or via
Jetdirect. These printers were configured for multiple users. Drivers for the printers were downloaded from the HP Driver
Support website.
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.

No issues were discovered when testing the XenApp Session Printers policy using these HP printers and drivers.
Printer policies
Description
Policies are used to apply XenApp settings (for client device mapping, for example) to specific users, clients, and servers.
Printer policies are used for configuring settings such as auto-creation, printer property retention, print job routing, printer
mapping, printer driver configuration, and session printers.
Test methodology
The HP printers listed in Table 9 were installed on the client system using a parallel cable, USB cable, or TCP/IP port; drivers
for the printers were downloaded from the HP Driver Support website.
The client system connected to the XenApp server farm. Each type of printer setting that is configurable by printer policies
was checked to verify operability with the HP printer and driver and to ensure that the client could print successfully.
