Normally, yes. However our network is set up so that the local PC is
invisible to the network and vice versa. I can't see local hard drives or
printers from within the network.
Citrix is not the network, just an application that uses it.
Let me make sure I understand: you have a printer that is currently
attached to your computer via USB. You can print to it from the
computer but you also want to print network jobs from Citrix. Citrix is
configured to ignore printers attached to the local PC, so the only
option for Citrix printing is to attach the printer to the network.
Most likely, your printer will handle print jobs from both USB and
Ethernet at the same time. So plug in the Ethernet cable and configure
Citrix to recognize it, and you're done. (Some very cheap printers let
you use only parallel or USB, not both. But your printer has USB,
Ethernet, and wireless. If it can't automatically queue jobs from all
ports, it's not something appropriate for business use.)
The other way is to connect the printer only to the network. Configure
Citrix to print to it, so your Citrix printing works.
Then, on your local PC, set up a network port to the printer. That has
nothing to do with Citrix:

Citrix won't know or care about those print jobs you send direct to the
printer.
