CLIENT PRINTER DRIVER COMPATIBILITY

Driver compatibility is a configurable option from within Presentation Server that allows administrators to specify either a list of acceptable ( allowable ) drivers for printer auto-creation or a list of incompatible drivers that are not to be mapped when presented to the Presentation Server server by the client (never create). Incompatible drivers would typically be ones such as fax drivers, Adobe distillers, and so on. The interface for entering and managing these lists is accessed in this way:

1. Log on to the Management Console for Citrix Presentation Server 4.

2. Open the Printer Management section.

3. Right-click Drivers and select Compatibility.

The server platform for the drivers can be selected. The primary choice is Allow Only Drivers In The List (Allowable) or Allow All Drivers Except Those In The List (Never Create). Drivers are then added to or removed from the list with the Add and Remove buttons . The driver name can be either typed in manually or selected from a list of drivers already installed on the Presentation Server servers.
