StressPrinters


The StressPrinters utility is used to troubleshoot printer problems in a terminal service or remote desktop service environment and is basically meant for Citrix XenApp. However, you can also use it for standalone Windows operating system and XenDesktop VDIs, as it doesn't have any dependency on Citrix-specific components.

This tool is used to simulate the creation of printers using specific printer drivers. This helps in identifying the corrupted or conflicting printer drivers that are actually causing the spooler to crash.

In a remote desktop service environment (Citrix XenApp), multiple users log in to work on published applications or desktops. Some drivers don't respond properly when processing multiple threads of printing jobs in a remote desktop service environment. Due to this, the print spooler sometimes crashes. This utility can help reproduce the issue in a simulated StressPrinters GUI environment using the same printer driver.
