How To Disable The Universal Print Driver For Specific Print Drivers

Tuesday, 11 July 2006 by Michel Roth

This article describes how to disable the Universal Printer Driver fallback for specific client printers. By default, the system uses standard printer drivers as requested by the client, if they are available. If a driver is not available and the client supports the Universal Printer Driver, the printer is autocreated using the Universal Printer Driver.

The default behavior can be altered by going to Citrix Policy > Printing > Drivers > Universal Driver > Use only printer model specific drivers only. However, this disables all usage of the Citrix Universal Printer Driver.

When a driver name presented from the client fails the compatibility test (for example, driver name is present in an exclude list or not present in an allow-only list) assuming Universal Printer Driver fallback is enabled, the normal behavior is to try to create the printer using the Universal Printer Driver. If set, this flag changes the default and prevents Universal Printer Driver creation for printers whose drivers fail the compatibility test.
