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.
