Citrix Receiver for Mac – Session Printer Mapping Issues – Printers don’t show or won’t get mapped Update: Have a look at Carl’s article as well: As per Citrix and: When non-Windows Receivers connect to a Windows 2012 Server with Universal Print Driver (UPD) options configured for client printers, the Post-script (PS) and PCL drivers might not be available, therefore the printers will not get auto-created. As a workaround, to use the Citrix UPD for non-window Receivers, like Mac and Linux, install appropriate drivers on the server manually: • PS driver = HP Color LaserJet 2800 Series PS • PCL4 driver = HP LaserJet Series II • PCL5c driver = HP Color LaserJet 4500 PCL 5 With my Windows Server 2012 R2 I ran into some issues. While trying to add the aforementioned Printer Drivers manually I realized that something was wrong: As you can see from the screenshot the button Windows Update is unavailable. This left me with investigating why that is the case. After a little bit of research I ended up with two possible solutions: • Configure the corresponding registry settings for Windows Update • Install a local printer and chose the appropiate model/driver as listed above Configure Windows Update via Registry: • Run registry editor. Click Start then type regedit and press Enter • Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE Policies Microsoft Windows DriverSearching • Change value of REG_DWORD DontSearchWindowsUpdate to 0 • Change value of REG_DWORD DontPromptForWindowsUpdate to 0 • Run a Command Prompt. Click Start then type cmd and press Enter • Execute gpupdate /force Furthermore I found this in the comments: HKLM Software Policies Microsoft Windows DriverSearching – REG_DWORD – searchorderConfig = 0 This removes that Windows Update button from the Add Printer Wizard.

You can either set this key to “2”, or just delete the key to restore the Windows Update button. Book layout in ms word. This is the “Disable automatic updates of drivers from Windows Updates” feature above.

Install printer locally: Whereas adding just the required drivers left me with no Windows Update button to click, I found this pointing me in the right direction: I had the same issue, but found it only occurred when I was trying to add a network printer. When I try to add a local printer the button shows up. I installed a local printer, allowed Windows Update to download the new drivers and then deleted the local printer. Next I add the network printer again, but this time, because the list of drivers has been refreshed, I didn’t need the Windows Update button because my printer is now in the list. Upon reading once more it became obvious and clear that I didn’t read the article with the required attention to detail, as it clearly states: • From the Windows Server 2012, choose Add a printer from Devices and Printers. • Continue through the wizard as if you are adding a local printer though it is not attached.

• Click Add a local printer > select LPT1: (Printer Port) > click Windows Update.
