Click on the Drivers tab and then click Add....
In the Add Printer Driver Wizard window click Next, then Next and then select the required HP driver.
Note: If the driver is not listed click Windows Update. If you don't see it after Windows Update is clicked, go to Microsoft update catalogue and search for HP LaserJet 2800. Pick the 6.1.7600.16385 driver version. Extract the driver, click Have Disk in the screenshot above and point to the drivers extracted location.
Important Note: If you extract the contents of the driver cab file using Windows Explorer the folder structure may not be retained and the driver installation may encounter an error. To avoid this use a more robust extraction tool such as WinRar or 7zip.
Click Next, then Finish.
The printer driver should then be listed in the Installed printer drivers. Click Close.
Problem Cause
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.

Information
This article provides a brief overview of the printing architecture with the 10.x versions of the Mac ICA Client.
Background
The Mac 10.x ICA Client is a feature-rich client offering. Many of the same features found with Win32 clients/plug-ins. This includes the ability to autocreate all of the standard printer types defined on the Mac device for use within XenApp sessions.

Printing with the Mac 10.x Client
Because the print drivers on a Mac are not a direct match for the drivers on a Windows 2003 or 2008 Server, most Mac-defined printers autocreate using the HP Color LaserJet PS driver. This postscript driver is installed with XenApp and is part of the universal printing architecture. It must never be removed from the XenApp server. Mac clients cannot use the advanced Citrix Universal Print Driver because this driver is based on the Windows Enhanced Metafile Format (EMF) to process and spool documents.
In instances where the HP Color LaserJet PS driver does not work with a specific print device, driver mappings might be used. Such mappings might be implemented using the management console or through the use of the wtsuprn.inf file on each XenApp server. Mappings specify the client driver name and corresponding server driver to use. The use of wildcards is permitted for driver mappings to simplify the process.
The Mac ICA Client also brings with it the Enable Print Dialog feature. The Enable Print Dialog feature presents the user with a local print dialog on selecting print from the published application. Any configured printer might then be selected to send the job. Enable Print Dialog feature can be enabled or disabled using the File menu of the Citrix ICA Client.
Note:The Enable Print Dialog feature has been removed starting with version 11.4.x and later per Citrix Documentation - 'Users are now shown a single print dialog when printing, instead of the two print dialogs shown in previous releases.'
