Testing methodology for HP printers
Citrix tested the following areas:
Network print servers
Printer policies
Client printer properties
Universal printer
Auto-created client printers
Printer driver compatibility
Client printer driver mapping
Dynamic printer mapping
The testing performed in each of these areas is described below. Each description outlines the following:
Description – Basic description of the feature being tested
Test methodology – Summary of the particular testing that was performed
Note
Actual testing was much more extensive and is therefore beyond the scope of this document.
Various client and server systems from numerous manufacturers were used throughout the testing process. The number
of systems and configurations are outside the scope of this document.
Printers were connected to both client and server systems, and as stand-alone network printers using HP Jetdirect print
server devices. Printers were connected to the client and server systems using IP addresses and USB cables.
The 32- and 64-bit printer driver versions listed are the versions that were available at time of testing. Newer versions
may be available.
Network print servers
Description
Network print servers – those not running XenApp – are servers with shared printers attached to them. Administrators add
these shared printers to the Citrix Session Printers policy in order to make them available to all users when they connect to
the server farm.
Test methodology
The HP printers listed in Table 10 were attached to the print server using a parallel cable, USB cable, or TCP/IP port or via
Jetdirect. These printers were configured for multiple users. Drivers for the printers were downloaded from the HP Driver
Support website.
A printer policy was then created for session printers and a user filter created for the session printer policy for domain users,
allowing domain users logged on to the XenApp server farm to verify that the shared network printer was available in the
client session and that the client could print successfully.
Table 10. Network print servers tested by Citrix
LaserJet P2015 series PCL5e (61.115.1.10527)
LaserJet P2015 series PCL6 (61.115.1.10527)
LaserJet P2015 series PS (61.115.1.10527)
LaserJet P2035n XPS (2.0.0.80825)
No issues were discovered when testing the XenApp Session Printers policy using these HP printers and drivers.
