Description

Customer has a XenApp 7.6 environment in a Microsoft Azure cloud, and over the weekend auto-created printers began mapping slowly or not at all.

Resolution

Disabled the following policy: ICA\Printing\Client Printer\Direct Connections to Print Servers, as VDAs are in Azure cloud and print server is on premises. This way VDAs will communicate directly with client, and it will handle printing calls to print server.

Problem Cause

By default, the VDA makes a direct connection to the print server. This was causing a lag to collect printer properties and map the printer
