This article provides an overview of how to use wildcards when configuring print driver mappings in XenApp.

Print driver mappings allow administrators to define alternate drivers for autocreated printers when using an exact driver match or the Citrix Universal Print Driver is not desirable.

Instructions

XenApp 5 and earlier allow mappings in the management console (farm-wide) or the wtsuprn.inf file (per-server). XenApp 6 introduced new policies where mappings are defined in the “Printer driver mapping and compatibility” policy and can be applied farm-wide, per-server, or per-user among other methods.

To define the print driver mappings with wildcards, consider the following:

? - substitutes individual characters

* - substitutes substrings

For example, the single entry "HP LaserJet 40?0*" = "HP LaserJet 4" would map the following drivers to an HP LaserJet 4:

HP LaserJet 4050 PCL5
HP LaserJet 4050 PCL6
HP LaserJet 4000 PCL5
HP LaserJet 4000 PCL6

It would not map:

HP LaserJet 4100 PCL5
