Implementing Printers

Another important concept on XenApp printer deployment is Printer Provisioning. This is the process by which XenApp makes printers available in a session. We can find two types of printer provisioning:

• Static: When we connect to a server's local printer in a session, printers are provisioned once and always created in the sessions with the same properties.

• Dynamic: When our users start a session, printers are created dynamically. Two of the most common methods of dynamic printer provisioning are Auto-creation, where printers are created automatically based on Citrix policies and User Provisioning, where users self-provision their printers.

As static printer provisioning is pretty easy to understand, we are going to talk about dynamic provisioning.

Auto-creation

The auto-creation of printer policy allows us to configure whether printers are automatically created within a user session or not, and allows us to configure which types of printers are automatically created.
