To illustrate the follow me printing concept, I added a picture from Konica Minolta :Ģ: Universal Printer Drivers from the printer manufacturer – And of course where this blog post is about : There is only one driver needed to connect to this printer object – Monitoring print behavoir and charge-back functionality – The user can take away confidential documents immediately – User can walk to the nearest printer (no more connecting printers based on location or group) I see more and more customers that are moving towards a follow me printing concept, in this concept the user is presented with one print object (may be more if you want to preset printing defaults), when a user prints to this object the job is queued on a central print server, the user walks to the nearest printer and types in a code or provide a token\card and after that the print job is send to the printer, this concept has the following advances : While the Citrix UPS solves a lot of printing horror (think of unstable printer drivers, driver replication issues, print spooler crashes) I do think we needed the Citrix UPS a while ago harder than we do now, this is mainly because of the following evolutions in the printing space : I will not go into technical details about UPS, this is pretty much covered here.
#Citrix reciver not pulling printers install
UPS consist of a client component and a server component which you install on the print server. Citrix Universal Print Server (UPS) is awesome, but maybe it arrived too late?įirst I wanted to say that I think the Universal Print Server (UPS) is a really great feature, for those who doesn’t know the UPS feature yet, it’s build on the proven and evolved Universal Printer driver from Citrix which is used for client printer redirection for a long time, with UPS this Universal printer driver is extended to network printers also.
