Place the shortcut into the user’s desktop (or under the start menu), so that when the user needs to commit changes such as a new printer added, all they have to do is click the shortcut.

Appendix D: Configuring printer mappings under Citrix

Having the Citrix UPD as the fallback driver for client printers under Citrix sessions is the default and generally the recommended configuration. If for any reason it is necessary to change that, it is possible to specify custom mappings. Two files control the print driver mapping process, as follow:

WTSPRNT.INF: This file lists the printer mappings made through the Management Console in plain text format. Changes made through the Management Console overwrite the contents of this file.

WTSUPRN.TXT: This file has an identical format to the WTSPRNT.INF file and is designed to be edited with a text editor. The contents of this file are not reflected in or overwritten by the Management Console. It takes precedence over the contents in the WTSPRNT.INF file. To use the WTSUPRN.TXT file, the file extension must be renamed to .INF

By default these files are located under folder \Program Files\Citrix\System32.

A sample WTSUPRN.INF that maps the UPD for Thin Clients on the clients to the original UPD on the server is as follow:

[Identification] OptionType = PRINTER [ClientPrinters]

"HP Universal Printing for ThinClient PCL 5" = "HP Universal Printing PCL 5"

This mapping is necessary only if using version 4.7 or earlier of UPD for Thin Clients or not using the HP Universal Printing PCL5 driver on the Citrix Server because the driver name was modified to be the same as the original UPD.

For more information on this subject please refer to the Citrix support article CTX114079, titled “Breakdown of the Print Driver Mapping Process“.

Appendix E: Special Offers Service

The UPD includes a service that delivers targeted promotional and informational messages via the Status Notification Prompt (SNP). The messages are non-intrusive in nature, and a typical user would see 4 messages per month. Additionally, in its default configuration this service is turned off on managed environments (domains with more than 100 users), and an administrator can override this and turn it ON or OFF as required via Active Directory policy or MPA configuration (documentation can be found on http://www.hp.com/go/upd). Because in its default configuration thin clients don’t log into a domain, users would be prompted to participate in the program. Participation requires that some information be sent to HP and for that to happen the user must “opt-in”, as depicted in the following dialogs:
