Hello, we have 200 IGEL UD3-LX 50 Clients with Version 10.04.100.01, these clients are connecting via citrix Reciever to a Windows Desktop Server 2016. But the local USB printers do not connect to the Session. is there an issue with the Version and Windows Server 2016? On a Desktop with Server 2012 & 2008 R2 it works fine

You should set up a new profile in the UMS console. Under Devices-> Printers-> Cups I have set up a TCP network printer:

TCP Print Server: IP from Server 1

TCP Port: 9100

Manufacturer: Generic

Copying the PPD Driver File to the Device. Copy the driver file (PPD file) to the folder /wfs using the UMS file transfer mechanism, see Files. Adding a New CUPS Driver. Now that you have copied the driver file to the device, you have to add a new printer and set the PPD file as the driver definition. To do so, proceed as follows.
I have previously tried 3 different methods of getting the igel to recognize my second monitor, and have found that it is a problem with the igel settings, which I do not have access to change. I needed an option that does not require additional drivers.

Printer Name: Raw Queue

Igel Disrupt

Map printers in Citrix sessions: yes

Use custom Windows driver name: Name of the printer driver as set up on your terminalserver (1:1, case sensitive)

I’m not knowing issues at the moment.

hello thank you for your answer. But i am using a local usb printer and not a network printer. Our network printers are working fine

What Citrix Version?

2008R2-2012 are using the same Citirx Policies than 2016?

It’s the same if you use USB, i just forgot to change the name.

We have Citrix Version 7.15 and yes the citirx policies are all the same

Try the test with a newer Firmware like 10.05.830 is worth a try, since receiver / workspace app are updated also.

Don’t forget to copy your profiles, and update their profile version after update and only apply them to your device.

Recently I also tried Citrix Universal Printing from recent Windows desktops but failed miserably until I got this helpfull link from a coworker:

Turns out if you have a linux Client you still need a special HP2800 series driver (on the VDI side). Citrix has elected this driver as their Universal Printer for the use with Linux Clients.

All the other Citrix Universal Printer drivers and most policy settings are exclusively for Windows clients.

In older windows version (on the VDI now) this HP driver was installed by default. But on newer versions like Desktop 2016 you have to install it yourself (if you follow the link above there is an howto)

If you want to use this Universal driver from an IGEL you just need to default setting (Generic Postscript).

thank you guys!! it was exactliy this: support.citrix.com/article/CTX140208

Hi, a customer of mine has only UD3-LX clients and asked me if it is possible to install a printer driver for an USB printer on that system. He wants their production employees only to connect to Exact Online and print some orders. I think it will be a problem but maybe some of you can help me.

Hi! If we are speaking about a so called Linux PPD Driver then yes.

Thanks, looking good. Next Tuesday I will try. Let you know!

Keep my fingers crossed!

Me too!

What kind of Linux OS is Igel using for their UD3-LX? It’s not so easy finding the PPD Driver for the HP LaserJet M14-M17 that I need……😕

Ubuntu 16.04 x64 should cover it in the best way

Thanks @member. Does someone here has experience with this and has the right PPD file / knows a site where to download it. The HP site doesn’t help very much because the only Linux driver I can download is a HPLIP file

Does it means that when I can select the setting, the Igel has the support for that printer already on board?

Yes, not everytime in the last detail but yes

Nice, then I will try this first. 💪. My customer will test this week so of course I ‘ll let you know…….

Good news, it works! Thanks for your support.

Happy to help!
