Because printing is such a critical part of most MetaFrame implementations , Citrix has put a large amount of effort into providing thorough support for all types of printing that may be found on a MetaFrame server. This support allows for the creation of an environment where the majority of users running applications on a MetaFrame server are able to print as seamlessly as they might through applications running on their local desktop computer. This chapter reviews the aspects of MetaFrame printer support that you need to understand in preparation for the exam.
