Session Printers in XenApp 6.5

This task divided into 3 parts:

1. Install Native printer driver
2. Replicate native printer driver using Powershell
3. Create session policy



1. Install Printer driver on Citrix server XA01, XA02 etc

I know its a very easy job :)

2. Powershell: ##tip

a) launch powershell on any Citrix Server

b) execute this command (Add-PSSnapin Citrix.*)without brackets so you can run Citrix commands

c) Check printer driver (Get-XAPrinterDriver -Servername XA01, XA02 etc.)

d) Replicate required driver (Start -XAPrinterDriverReplication -DriverName "HP...." -TargetServerName XA02 )

****Enable Autoreplication of any driver (Add-XAAutoReplicatedPrinterDriver -DriverName "Hp..." -ServerName XA01)

****Remove Driver (**Remove-XAAutoReplicatedPrinterDriver -DriverName "Hp..." -ServerName XA01)

e) repeat step C after sometime to check if driver(s) is replicated successfully or not. Look into event logs for any failure.

3) Create Session Policy

Job Done ;-)


##tipDepending upon permissions level, you may require to enable remotesigned policy to make changes through powershell as below

Query execution policy for any restriction
get-executionpolicy

If restricted, remove it by below and press Y
set-exectutionpolicy remotesigned
