For the clients for 32-bit Windows, any printer that is set up in Windows on the client device is a client printer. Locally connected printers, printers that are connected on a network, and virtual printers are all client printers.

To test printing from a client

1.Return to your client computer where Notepad is running.

2.In Notepad, choose File > Print. Your text is printed on the printer connected to the client computer.

In order to demonstrate the administrative capabilities of MetaFrame Presentation Server, please leave Notepad and Calculator running on your client computer.

Monitoring and Managing Client Sessions

In this section, you will use the management console to view the sessions running in the server farm.

The management console provides centralized management of your users’ client sessions. You can use the console to:

•Monitor client sessions–viewed by server or published application

•Send messages to users in active sessions

•Reset or disconnect sessions and log off users

•Monitor and remotely control selected sessions using the shadowing feature

To view session information for a server

1.Return to your primary server, which is where you have installed the Presentation Server Console.

2.If the management console is not open, open Start > All Programs > Citrix > MetaFrame Presentation Server > Presentation Server Console, and log on.

3.In the left pane of the console, expand the Server tree and select the primary server.

4.In the right pane click the Sessions tab, and note the column Application displays Notepad1.

5.In the left pane, under Servers, select the secondary server.

Note the Application column now displays Calculator2, which is running on your secondary server, and is being managed from your primary MetaFrame server, but appears on your client computer.
