Is it possible for someone with a CITRIX XenApp client to:

  1. Print to a locally attached printer using the SAP ‘LOCL’ definition
  2. Create a batch job within SAP and then have the batch job print to a locally attached printer
  • Can you make SAP use the default printer of the one opening it ? It can be tricky as you can map the local printer, but in the remote server it will not be displayed as local, but as a mapped printer from the remote receiver. – yagmoth555 - GoFundMe Monica Jul 13 '16 at 19:31
  • I don't think that's possible. I think the answers to my questions are 1) Yes (as LOCL will use the Windows print drivers of the local PC), 2) No. Thanks. – Techboy Jul 13 '16 at 19:34

    For (2) I did some tweak in the past, but it need admin right. (net use lpt1: \\remotepc\printershared). Or you could try to add a local printer too on a fake local printqueue, and after you add in the port a \\remotepc\printershared map it to the remote printer. (tip in detail there (the last tip dont need admin right) – yagmoth555 - GoFundMe Monica Jul 13 '16 at 20:09
