Samsung 6345N specifications Shadowing Client Printers, Using Driver Features

CITRIX COMPATIBILITY FOR THE SAMSUNG MULTIXPRESS 6345N PRINTER WHITE PAPER

Shadowing Client Printers

Description

Citrix shadowing is a feature that allows users to view and control other user’s sessions remotely. You can use session shadowing to monitor and interact with user’s sessions. When you shadow a user, you can view whatever appears on the user’s session display. Shadowing is a useful tool for user collaboration, training, troubleshooting, and monitoring by supervisors, help desk personnel, and teachers.

You can use the Citrix Shadow Taskbar to shadow sessions and to switch among multiple shadowed sessions.

Test Methodology

The lab selected the shadowing option in Citrix Server, and then they selected a user desktop to shadow. They verified the actions performed on client side against those performed on the user side. The lab rejected shadowing of the desktop and verified whether this step blocked shadowing from occurring.

The lab connected the Samsung MultiXpress 6345N printer to the client by using a USB connection or TCP/IP connection. They selected a user’s desktop to shadow for the test. Then the lab tested the print drivers while shadowing the user.

Observation

The lab successfully shadowed the user and observed their actions performed on the server side from the client side. Then they successfully printed to the Samsung MultiXpress 6345N printer using the PCL 6 and PS drivers over the shadow session. The lab encountered no issues on any of the tested Windows operating systems.

Using Driver Features

Description

A printer driver contains the printer instructions you can configure to control a printers features. These features allow you to output your print jobs by using different printing formats. Printer features can include watermarks, overlays, etc. You should get the same results using these printer features from an auto-created client driver, as you would get from a local client printer driver.

Test Methodology

The lab connected the Samsung MultiXpress 6345N printer to the Citrix Presentation Server machine using a USB connection or using a TCP/IP connection. They installed the printer driver on the server and on the client machine. The lab created a Microsoft Word document named ‘Data.doc’ on the server. The lab established an ICA connection from the client to the server using MS Word from the server. They opened and printed the ‘Data.doc’ file from the Server to test the watermark, overlay, and n-up printing features of the driver during the ICA session.

Observation

The lab successfully printed to the Samsung MultiXpress 6345N printer using the watermark, overlay, and n-up driver features without encountering any issues on any of the Windows operating systems tested.
