Citrix Systems MetaFrame Presentation Server Benutzerhandbuch

By default, the auto creation process uses the native printer driver for a specific 
printer on the client device to create the client printer. If the correct native printer 
driver is not available on the application server, the client printer is automatically 
created using a compatible universal driver. You can use the Presentation Server 
Console to change the default settings. Select Printers or Drivers in the left pane of 
the Printer Management Properties page to change settings for client printer auto-
creation.

1. Select the server in the left pane

2. Click the Printer Drivers tab.

With universal printing, you can avoid the following issues:

• Some native printer drivers, especially those that do not use an advanced page 

description language such as PCL or PostScript, generate very large print files. 
These files can cause unacceptable delays when print jobs are spooled from the 
server to the client over a WAN or other slow connection.

• Many printer drivers are not well tested in a terminal server environment. Some 

drivers cause frequent fatal system errors and spooler faults. Installing many 
printer drivers for a large user base can destabilize servers.

• Although driver maintenance is more convenient with MetaFrame Presentation 

Server, the effort required to obtain, install, and manage many different printer 
drivers for a diverse environment can be substantial. Even with careful 
maintenance, drivers required for printing to every device might not be installed 
in the server farm. Missing drivers prevent auto creation of client printers for 
users.

1. In the Presentation Server Console, right-click Printer Management and 

choose Properties. The options let you control the automatic creation of client 
printers and the use of printer drivers. For more details about using the options 
available for the Universal Printer Driver, see the console help.

2. When you have finished configuring the printer properties, click OK.
