XenApp XenDesktop and Printing

[Chris_Jones]

Hello all,

 

Quick Query to any Citrix experts out there.

I have setup a XenApp Server to host Applications (SIMS, Discover, Solidworks etc) and a XenDesktop system for VDIs used for internal thin clients and external remote access.

 

The XenDesktop VDIs have the Citrix Reciever installed, and this connects through passthrough authentication and presents the user with the correct applications.

 

The issue I am having is printer re-direction.

The VDI picks up local printers from the host (be it a home computer or a Windows thin PC client) however the XenApp apps do not pick up these printers.

If the Reciever is installed on a fat client printers are re-directed to the apps successfully.

 

any suggestions on what I may be missing here/ how to get this working?

 

Cheers

We currently Use ThinPrint by Cortado. Our thin clients named by lab and is set it up to direct printers based upon names.
