Which action fixes a cross-data-center printing issue when only one print server works due to restricted traffic between sites?

• A. Create a Citrix policy that limits the bandwidth consumption used by printing.
• B. Create a Citrix policy that disables direct connections to the print servers.
• C. Install Universal printer drivers to all print servers.
• D. Create a Citrix policy to auto-create printers.

Answer: (B)

When printing across data centers with restricted inter-site traffic, the way the session reaches printers matters more than the printers themselves. If the Citrix session is allowed to connect directly to a print server in the remote site, those direct connections can be blocked by the network, causing printing to fail. Disabling direct connections to the print servers forces the printer path to go through Citrix’s managed printing path (rather than direct remote server access), which uses the allowed network routes and keeps printing functional across sites. This approach addresses the connectivity constraint head-on. Other options don’t fix the underlying routing issue: limiting bandwidth doesn’t solve blocked paths, universal printers or auto-creating printers improve availability or driver compatibility but don’t reroute traffic around restricted inter-site connections.
