Yusuf A.Jun 8, 2026The correct answers are A and C. My senior walked me through this last month when we set up UPS in our lab, and the two things that actually matter are installing the Universal Print Server software on your print servers (C) and then enabling it through a Citrix policy (A). The software on the print server is what replaces the Windows print path with the Citrix one, and without the policy turned on in Studio or Web Studio, the VDA has no idea to use UPS even if the software is sitting there installed. Option B is about auto-creating client printers, which is a separate printing policy setting and does not have anything to do with activating UPS itself. Option D trips people up because yes, Print and Document Services exists on Windows Server, but Citrix UPS has its own installer and does not require you to add that Windows role to every machine in the environment.
Kemal J.Jun 19, 2026Yeah, A and C are right. You have to drop the UPS software on the actual print server boxes first, then light it up in policy on the Delivery Controller side, otherwise the VDA has no idea the Universal Print Server exists and just falls back to the old Windows print driver path, which is exactly the mess UPS is supposed to fix.
Ola B.May 30, 2026Spun up a lab, installed UPS on the print server, flipped the policy, done.
Yusuf A.May 31, 2026Nice setup, though I would double-check that the UPS runtime is enough to cover a graceful shutdown if your print jobs queue up during a longer outage, not just a quick blip.
