Epson BOSSTX2 CE 5.0 Using ICA Local Printer, Mapping Client Printers on MetaFrame for Windows

BOSSTX2 CE 5.0 User's Manual

7Using ICA Local Printer

You can access printers attached to your client computer from an ICA session. When a Citrix server is configured to allow client printer mapping, applications running remotely on the Citrix server can print to local printers.

Note If your Windows-based terminal includes a list of printer drivers you can select the printer driver from the Printer tab of the Terminal Properties dialog box. When you print from an application, the associated driver is used on the Citrix server. You will need to install the driver on the Citrix server.

7.1Mapping Client Printers on MetaFrame for Windows

Before users print out from MetaFrame for Windows, the administrator must enable printing. This section describes how to enable printing on the server.

The name of the printer is clientname#port, where clientname is the name you have assigned to your ICA Client and port is the printer port on your Windows CE device, for example COM1 or LPT1.
