ThinPrint Integration with Citrix eLux 7: Seamless Printing for Modern VDI Environments

‍‍We’re thrilled to announce that as of October 31, 2025, ThinPrint is now fully integrated into Citrix eLux OS 7 (Unicon). This integration marks an important milestone in our long-standing strategic partnership with Citrix – further strengthened earlier in 2025 through Citrix’s acquisition of Unicon.

Together with eLux 7 and ThinPrint, organizations now gain access to a truly seamless, efficient, and reliable printing experience for virtual desktop environments.

The Challenge: Printing in Virtualized Environments

Printing continues to be one of the biggest pain points in VDI and DaaS infrastructures. While end users expect printing to “just work”, IT teams often face complex challenges behind the scenes.

Common printing issues in Thin Client environments include:

• Complex driver management – each printer model requires its own drivers, which need installation, updates, and ongoing maintenance.
• User frustration – printers may not map correctly, fail during sessions, or suddenly disappear.
• Operational risks – duplicate print queues, firewall restrictions, and network bottlenecks cause slowdowns and outages.

The result? Increased support tickets, productivity losses, and frustration for both users and IT administrators.

The Solution: ThinPrint Client on Citrix eLux 7

With native integration of the ThinPrint Client in Citrix eLux 7, local and network printers are instantly available within Citrix sessions (VDI &DaaS) – without additional print servers or complex CUPS setups.

Beyond Citrix: Broader Platform Support

While this announcement focuses on Citrix, it’s important to note that the integration of ThinPrint into eLux 7 extends far beyond Citrix environments. eLux 7 with ThinPrint isn’t limited to Citrix VDI, SaaS, or DaaS deployments – it also supports a wide range of other virtual desktop, software-as-a-service, and desktop-as-a-service platforms. This flexibility ensures that organizations using various infrastructure providers can still benefit from ThinPrint’s proven performance and simplified print management. If you’re operating outside the Citrix ecosystem or planning a hybrid VDI strategy, our specialists are ready to help you identify the best setup for your environment. Simply reach out, and we’ll be happy to provide personalized guidance and support.

Conclusion: Printing Made Simple

By combining ThinPrint and Citrix eLux 7, your IT department can deliver a smooth, dependable printing experience while significantly reducing administrative overhead. Users print without interruptions, and IT teams can focus on strategic initiatives instead of troubleshooting printer issues.
