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.

Where to Find Documentation

This document describes the issue(s) resolved by this release and includes installation instructions. For additional product information, see Citrix eDocs, the Citrix Product Documentation Library.

New Fixes in This Release

  1. The print spooler service might exit unexpectedly. The issue occurs when UpProv.dll dereferences a null pointer.

    [From UpsClient100WX64100][#LA2652]

  2. When using UPClient with the Universal Print Driver or native printer drivers, users cannot modify printing preferences. Instead, when you close the dialog box, all preferences revert to the previous state.

    [From UpsClient100WX64100][#LA2976]

  3. Users experience significant delays when opening the Devices and Printers window, opening the Printer Properties dialog, and navigating to the Ports tab in the Printer Properties dialog. The issue occurs because the print spooler on the Universal Print Client makes excessive RPC connections to the Universal Print Server. To enable this fix in its entirety, you must install both a Print Server hotfix (UpsServer100WX86100; UpsServer100WX64100 or their replacements) and a Universal Print Client hotfix (UpsClient100WX86100; UpsClient100WX64100 or their replacements) that contains Fix #LA3177.

    [From UpsClient100WX64100][#LA3177]

  4. On XenApp servers with Fix #LA3177 installed that act as clients to the Universal Print Server, the Windows print spooler can exit unexpectedly. The issue results from a third-party printer driver incompatibility.

    [From UpsClient100WX64100][#LA3672]

  5. This fix provides speed improvements when using the Universal Print Server.

    To enable this fix, you must install both Universal Print Server (UpsServer100WX86100; UpsServer100WX64100) and Universal Print Client (UpsClient100WX86100; UpsClient100WX64100) hotfixes or their respective replacements that contain Fix #LA3708.

    [From UpsClient100WX64100][#LA3708]
