7 Using ICA Local Printer
You can access printers attached to your client computer from an ICA session. When a Citrix server is configured to allow
client printer mapping, applications running remotely on the Citrix server can print to local printers.
If your Windows-based terminal includes a list of printer drivers you can select the printer driver from the Printer tab of
the Terminal Properties dialog box. When you print from an application, the associated driver is used on the Citrix
server. You will need to install the driver on the Citrix server.
