Hi,
I have a new setup with a 2012R2 print server and XenApp 7.5 also on 2012R2, with Office 2013 installed.
I have a problem with HP's Universal Print drivers. When a user has a printer setup with HP UPD, everyone he starts for example Word and tries to print, then it says "Connecting to printer" which takes 30-60 seconds. After that printing works fine.
I have tried many versions of the HP UPD driver - both PCL5 and PCL6.

And have disabled advanced printing features and automatic configuration. I also tried using WINPRINT as print processor - nothing helped. I then found out that when I disabled Windows firewall on the print server, then the problem dissapeared.
I then enabled logging for dropped packets - but nothing appeared in the log when I enabled the firewall again.
I tried with Wireshark and could see some connections on port 8080 which was dropped. I made a rule that opened that opened 8080, but it didn't work.
Then I thought that I would make a rule that allowed any traffic from the Xenapp servers and enabled successfull connections in the log - hopefully I could see which ports then.
But the strange thing is that it didn't solve the problem when I made an any rule?? I then tried allowing any port from any destination - still the same problem
I can't see the difference between disabling the firewall and making an any rule?
Anyone else tried experienced this problem?
Or maybe someone know how to make the HP UPD stop trying to connect on other ports.
