Design Manager uses Citrix XenApp / XenDesktop and Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 / 2012 to host its cloud services. Although almost every modern printer works in this environment, some will support more features and operate more smoothly and faster than others.
Design Manager recommends Hewlett Packard (HP) printers because they have the largest line of printers that support the Citrix environment. When a printer lists Windows Server 2008/2012 R2/2012 as one of the supported operating systems, it is great choice.
Models Design Manager Recommends:
HP Officejet Pro 8600
HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus
HP Officejet Pro 7500A Wide-Format
For a full list of supported HP printers click here.
Other recommended printer manufacturers are:
Brother, Canon, Fuji/Xerox, Dell/Lexmark, Konica/Minolta, Kyocera, Okidata
Make sure that model you choose supports Windows Server 2008 R2.
Epson, on the other hand, is one of the only companies that does NOT sell any printers supported in the Citrix Environment (although many of their printers do work or can be made to work with a few simple setting changes).

When printing from a Citrix application through the Citrix Receiver the printing comes out about 50% of normal size. The Citrix environment is using the universal print driver. It works fine on OS X 10.7, but on 10.8 has the issue. Should this printer operate with Citrix and is there a compatible (like HP Color Laser) or older model I can select that will still work with the 7510?
