Quick Reference Guide
Printers
A universal print driver is installed on the thin client to support
text-only printing to a locally connected printer. To print full text and
graphics to a locally connected printer, install the driver provided by
the manufacturer and follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Be sure
to disable the write filter cache or run the
-commit
command to save
the installation. You can print to network printers from ICA and RDP
applications through print drivers on the servers.

CAUTION:
If the available free space on the flash memory is reduced to
less than 3 MB, the thin client becomes unstable.
✎
Downloading and using printers requires sufficient flash space. In
some cases, you may have to remove software components to free up
space for printers.
✎
Printing to a locally-connected printer from an ICA or RDP session
using the print drivers of the server produces full text and graphics
functionality from the printer. To do this, you must install the print
driver on the server and the text-only driver on the thin client (see the
following section).
