Cloud solutions and virtualization have grown in the past couple of years, and is yet to grow at an exponential rate for businesses of all sizes and industries. Amongst many virtualization platforms out in the market, Citrix has proven to be one of the best for businesses.

However, printing in Citrix is still relatively difficult at times for system administrators. There can be many factors and complications that can arise when managing printers in a virtual environment and thus this leads to unique challenges and problems.

Citrix native printing alone depends not only on how the machines are set up in your business, but also how the Citrix print policies are configured. Below are some of the major Citrix printing problems users face and how to solve them.

As an increasing number of global enterprises move to centralize their IT infrastructures, remote printing across the vast geographical spread of operations frequently presents a formidable challenge to IT departments, such as those in a Citrix VDI environment.  Such is the case for one of UniPrint’s banking/financial customers in the UK: Standard Bank Offshore Group.

Find out how UniPrint helped Standard Bank Offshore Group to successfully overcome remote printing issues across its operations to achieve effortless, fast and reliable remote printing, and provided a future-proof printing solution for their Citrix XenApp environment.

Many organizations use Citrix to virtualize their desktops and apps to provide a secure on-demand service to their users at anytime, anywhere.

Users are also able to access their desktop through tablets, smartphones, laptops, and thin clients, while providing a centralized control environment to system admins, while reducing IT resources spent on fixing individual issues.

But what about printing over the cloud?

When talking to people about printing in a Citrix world, many customers I have come across will ask, “why do I need UniPrint Infinity when I have Citrix UPD?”

My answer is always the same: “Citrix is not a print software company”. This seems obvious, so why is it so important to remember? To answer this, we have to venture back to the root cause of printing issues in Citrix, or more to the point: printing issues in Microsoft.
