Multithreading over Citrix

ChrisBrown · Post by **ChrisBrown** » Wed Mar 15 2006

We have the professional developer version (v2.5) of PDF Converter and are using this in 3 applications deployed over Citrix. They are all MS Access and we are using the VBA to control the printing.

To avoid problems with filenames we are using the locking functions, however this is causing delays in the printing cycle. Is it possible to install multiple printers (say one for each application) and use each one independently?

If we can this should at least reduce the delays.

Hello,

Yes you can use 3 different printers and use each of them to print to separately.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the quick reply.

One quick additional question, is there a limit to the number of printers that can be used?

Technically, you can use a different printer per application. If your application will in multithreading you can use the locking mechanism inside that application.

It is not advisable at all to install a different printer per thread

Hope this helps.
