WHITE PAPER
CITRIX COMPATIBILITY FOR THE SAMSUNG MULTIXPRESS 6345N PRINTER
Using the Printer Driver Interface
Description
The Printer Driver User Interface is the interactive
visual representation of the printer features and
their settings presented in a format that allows a
user to configure or arrange the printer settings to
accommodate their printing requirements.
A Printer Driver User Interface provides the
following:
•
Control over the printer input, allowing the user
to manipulate the system.
•
Control over the printer output, allowing the
system to produce the desired user-configured
effects.
The goal of any user interface is to provide easy
navigation, accessibility, and a logical flow of the
user interaction. It must provide an environment
that any user can understand and that they can
use to create their expected output.
Test Methodology
The lab installed the Samsung MultiXpress 6345N
PCL 6 driver on the Citrix Presentation Server
machine and on the Citrix Client. They established
an ICA connection from the client to the server by
using MS Word from the Server side. The lab
connected the printer to the server. They tested
the Samsung Printer Driver User Interface print
window for navigability, accessibility, and
functionality. The lab accessed all of the UI tabs
such as Page Order, Page Orientation, etc.
Observation
The lab found all of the Samsung Printer Driver
User Interface tabs to be functional, navigable, and
user friendly. They did not encounter any issues
while testing the Samsung MultiXpress 6345N
printer on any of the Windows Operating systems
tested.
Using Printer Policies
Description
You use Citrix Presentation Server Printer Policies
created in the Presentation Server Console to
configure printer management. Presentation
Server Printer Policies provide a mechanism to
define a collection of system settings that can be
associated with a broader range of criteria than just
users, groups, and computers.
You can use policies to establish farm-wide
defaults for server settings. You assign
Presentation Server Printer Policies through filters
that apply rules defined by using any combination
of the following criteria:
•
Access Control
•
Client IP address
•
Client Name
•
Servers
•
Users.
Test Methodology
The lab connected the Samsung MultiXpress
6345N printer to the Citrix Presentation Client
machine by using a USB connection or by using a
TCP/IP connection. They installed the printer driver
on the Client. Then from the Citrix Presentation
Console the lab enabled the server ‘Auto Create all
Client Printers’ policy and applied it to the following:
•
A range of IP addresses
•
One particular IP address
•
A specific client name
•
One particular user
The lab tested the auto creation of client printers
after they applied each of these policies.
Observation
Citrix successfully auto-created all of the client
printers to which the policies were applied.
