Administrator permissions are required for all installation and configuration procedures. It is therefore best to log on under Windows as ADMINISTRATOR.
To open the PRINTERS folder on Windows 7 machines as an administrator use
START¡ ALL PROGRAMS¡ .PRINT ENGINE¡ PRINTERS.
Prerequisite for installation on XenDesktops
The picawsapi.dll was provided by Citrix to fix a memory leak inside the XenDesktop
Virtual Desktop Agent 3.1. The update is included in Citrix Virtual Desktop Agent version 3.1.3242 (Citrix Document ID: CTX122445 on http://support.citrix.com), but
picawsapi.dll can be used meanwhile to prevent loss of memory in the virtual
machines.

Sample configuration of ThinPrint Engine and ThinPrint Client
Scenarios
The standard installation of ThinPrint Desktop Engine is plug and play. That means,
if you have installed ThinPrint Engine on a desktop 5 and ThinPrint Client as well as
at least one printer on a client computer 6, then you can print immediately after opening a desktop session.
At the same time the choice of the ThinPrint Clients depends on the one hand on
the operating system of the client computers and on the other hand on the connection
protocol between client computer and desktop. If the desktop is part of a Citrix
XenDesktop environment, then install the ICA type of ThinPrint Client. For all other
types of desktops you can install the RDP type of ThinPrint Client on the client computer.
If Thin Clients are going to be used, select a Thin Client type for which the ICA or
RDP type of ThinPrint Client is available (Page 74). You have at your disposal Thin
XP: Service Pack 1 and later
4
For older operating systems use ThinPrint Client 7.0.
