Managing the User Experience

Question

Scenario: A Citrix Administrator is managing a XenDesktop environment for a call center consisting of 2000 users. Users work three different shifts during the day. XenDesktop has been implemented so that each user gets access to a non-persistent Desktop OS machine provisioned using Provisioning Services. The Citrix Universal Print Server has been deployed to optimize printing in this environment. Corporate policy mandates that all users must print using the Universal Print Server. The administrator wants to deploy a new printer into the environment. Which action should the administrator take to make the new printer driver available to the users in this environment?

Options

  • AInstall the printer driver on the Print Server.
  • BInstall the printer driver onto the vDisk and deploy the updated vDisk.
  • CInstall the printer driver on the Provisioning Services server with 'Enable printer management'
  • DInstall the printer driver on the Delivery Controller and use PowerShell cmdlets to replicate the

Why each option

When using Citrix Universal Print Server with non-persistent PVS desktops, new printer drivers must be installed on the Print Server because UPS handles all print job processing server-side.

AInstall the printer driver on the Print Server.Correct

The Citrix Universal Print Server architecture routes print jobs through the UPS, meaning the printer driver must exist on the Print Server itself, not on the VDA. Since VDAs are non-persistent and booted from a PVS vDisk, any driver installed directly on a VDA session is discarded on reboot, making the Print Server the correct and durable location for driver deployment.

BInstall the printer driver onto the vDisk and deploy the updated vDisk.

While modifying the vDisk is one approach for VDA-side drivers, the Universal Print Server architecture offloads printing to the UPS, so the driver is needed on the print server, not the VDA vDisk.

CInstall the printer driver on the Provisioning Services server with 'Enable printer management'

The Provisioning Services server manages vDisk streaming and does not serve as a print driver repository; 'Enable printer management' in PVS is unrelated to UPS driver deployment.

DInstall the printer driver on the Delivery Controller and use PowerShell cmdlets to replicate the

The Delivery Controller manages session brokering and does not participate in print driver management or distribution in a UPS-based deployment.
