Symptoms or Error
If your printer is supported in High Sierra, Sierra, El Capitan, Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion, and Lion, go to the HP drivers webpage to install the postscript or raster driver that will allow you to print to your HP Designjet printer from your Mac computer. If you have a non PostScript Designjet printer, the Apple Software Update application will launch allowing you to install the new driver for your printer. Note: If you are using or sharing a printer that is connected directly to an Apple Airport with a USB or Ethernet cable, these printer queues will NOT be recreated.
Client printers on Mac and Linux clients fail to be created in XenApp and XenDesktop sessions running on Windows 10, Server 2012 R2, and Server 2016 when configured to use the Citrix Universal Printer Driver (UPD).

Problem Cause
Printer Postscript For Mac Os
Citrix UPD requires the use of the PostScript data format to support client printing on Mac and Linux clients. To achieve this, Citrix leverages PostScript driver developed by HP. The version of this HP driver, that Microsoft had previously built into the Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 operating systems, is no longer included with Windows 10, Server 2012 R2, or Server 2016. Because of this missing driver, client-printers on Mac and Linux endpoints fail to be created in the XenApp and XenDesktop session.
