Printing to Google Cloud Printer while in Citrix Receiver

When you're working remotely or accessing virtual applications and desktops through Citrix, you may encounter issues with printing documents. One common challenge is setting up your printer to work seamlessly with Google Cloud Print. In this article, we'll explore how to print to a Google Cloud Printer while using Citrix Receiver.

Domain Pass-Through (Single Sign-On)

Before we dive into the printing process, it's essential to understand the concept of domain pass-through (single sign-on or SSON). This feature allows you to authenticate to your domain and access Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops without needing to reauthenticate every time. Domain pass-through is supported on Windows versions 2012 and later, although it may not work with certain Group Policy Object templates.

Configuring Authentication

Citrix Workspace app offers various authentication options, including domain pass-through (SSON), smart card, and Kerberos pass-through. These configurations enable secure access to your virtual environment without requiring manual reauthentication.
