Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Associate — Question 122

Scenario: A Citrix Administrator has enabled an HDX Session printers policy within a Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops Site. The administrator added a printer to a print server and assigned the printer to all users through a session printer policy. In addition, several local client printers are auto-created within HDX sessions. No other printing policies are configured.
How will print jobs be routed when users send print jobs to a printer managed by the print server?

Answer options

• A. Directly to the network print server and then to the specified printer.
• B. Over the HDX virtual channel to the specified printer attached to the print server.
• C. Directly from the session Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA) machine to the printer.
• D. Over the HDX virtual channel, through the endpoint, and then to the print server.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because print jobs are sent directly to the network print server, which then routes them to the designated printer. Option B is incorrect as it implies the use of the HDX virtual channel, which is not how print jobs are processed in this scenario. Option C is wrong since the print jobs do not go directly from the VDA to the printer, and option D is also incorrect as it suggests an unnecessary routing through the endpoint.
