Important Notes about This Release

  • This is the client component of the Citrix Universal Print feature. Install this component on each XenApp and XenDesktop hosts that provisions session network printers and that uses the Universal Printer Driver.
  • Check to ensure .NET 3.0 Service Pack 1 Framework (minimum) is installed before installing the client component. This software is required by XenApp and XenDesktop installations that might be installed already.
  • The client component installer enables or installs the following items if they do not exist already:
    • Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 and 2008 Service Pack 1 runtime libraries.
    • Citrix Client-Side Extension. This software is required to retrieve and configure Universal Print Server policy settings.

  2. The Spooler process (spoolsv.exe) might exit unexpectedly.

    [From UpsClient710WX86100][#LA4317]

  3. When using the Citrix Universal Printer Driver (UPD), and printing from Microsoft Office applications, those print jobs might remain in the spooling status for a long time and can eventually cause the print spooler service to become unresponsive.

  4. This enhancement improves the scalability and reliability of the Universal Print Server. To enable this enhancement in its entirety, you must install both a Universal Print Server and a Universal Print Client hotfix that contains Fix #LA5186.
