Use Custom Windows Driver Name

☑ Give the name of your driver here if it is not mentioned in the list above.

Printer Driver: Windows driver name for the printer.

The name must not contain “;” or “:”.

When printing in ICA and RDP sessions, the print data are normally prepared for the printer model by the Windows printer driver and are passed unchanged from the thin client to the printer. An exception is encountered when using the Windows driver in ICA sessions: Manufacturer: Generic, model: Generic PostScript. In this case, the print data are prepared on the thin client with the help of the printer driver defined above under Printer for the printer model. This requires thin client resources depending on the size of the print job.
