Citrix

Citrix Virtual Workplaces

Citrix enables secure, centralized access to virtual applications and desktops across the enterprise. LRS Output Management extends that value by making print and document output behave predictably inside Citrix environments, even as users roam, sessions reset, or infrastructure scales. Together, Citrix and LRS remove one of the most persistent friction points in virtual workspaces: reliable, secure, and manageable output.

For organizations running Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, printing is not a peripheral concern. It directly affects user productivity, service desk workload, and platform adoption. LRS integrates closely with Citrix to ensure that document delivery in virtual sessions is as stable and intuitive as printing from a physical workstation, without adding administrative complexity.

Securing Persistent Printer Definitions in Non Persistent Sessions

Citrix environments are designed to be flexible and secure, but their session‑based nature introduces challenges for output management. Printer definitions can disappear between sessions, driver management becomes weak, and default Citrix printing often lacks the control required in large, distributed enterprises. These issues increase support tickets and weaken the user experience.

LRS addresses these challenges by integrating its Output Management platform directly with Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops using the Virtual Session Printer Agent (VSPA). This approach centralizes control while preserving the dynamic nature of Citrix sessions. LRS is a long‑standing member of the Citrix Ready program, with solutions evaluated for compatibility as new Citrix versions are released.

Establish persistent printer definitions across Citrix sessions, even in non‑persistent VDI environments
Associate users, printers, and terminals intelligently based on role or location
Centralize driver management to reduce spooler instability and policy sprawl
Enable proximity‑based printing for roaming and shared‑workspace users
Reduce help‑desk calls by eliminating manual printer re‑creation after logoff

Results that Matter

By aligning Citrix virtualization with LRS Output Management, organizations gain predictable output behavior without sacrificing Citrix agility. Printing becomes a controlled service instead of a recurring exception, improving both IT efficiency and end‑user satisfaction.

Improve virtual desktop adoption by having print act like traditional Windows desktops
Lower support costs by reducing printer‑related incidents and session‑reset issues
Shorten logon times by minimizing printer and driver provisioning overhead
Increase platform reliability by avoiding driver conflicts and spooler crashes
Reduce infrastructure costs by consolidating print management instead of expanding Citrix policies and servers

Partnership in Practice

LRS software can be deployed along with Citrix in large, distributed environments where output reliability directly impacts business operations. The integration supports a wide range of Citrix use patterns without requiring custom development.

Virtual applications and desktops environments with thousands of concurrent users
Thin and zero client deployments across mixed device types
Hybrid on‑premise and cloud Citrix infrastructures
Secure print workflows layered on top of Citrix sessions
Central IT teams supporting global user populations from a single console
