- I think Citrix Receiver only supports 10.6 and up. You may want to try the Citrix ICA Client for Mac, which is what it used to be called (Citrix loves to change the names of their products on a very regular basis).
- Virtual screen tech like Microsoft Remote Desktop an a plethora of standard VNC desktop sharing systems exist so it is not the approach that keeps the latest Citrix Receiver from the store. Bear in mind Citrix Receiver was permitted in the App Store up to the Mar 11, 2011 release but then was 'de-listed'.

Q: What is the difference between a Major, Minor, or Maintenance release?
A: These are explained below:
- A Major Release is a generally available release of the Software that contains new features, functional enhancements to existing features, maintenance updates and defect fixes, and is designated by Citrix by means of a change in the digit to the left of the first decimal point (e.g., Software 11.0 >>> Software 12.0).
- A Minor Release is a generally available release of the Software that contains a limited number of new features and minor enhancements, maintenance updates and defect fixes, and is designated by Citrix by means of a change in the digit(s) to the right of the first decimal point (e.g., Software 11.8 >>> Software 11.9).
- A Maintenance Release is a generally available release of the Software that normally contains maintenance updates and defect fixes, and is designated by Citrix by means of a change in the digit to the right of the second decimal point (e.g., Software 11.8 >>> Software 11.8.2).
A: Critical defect or security fixes will only be supplied in an update to the most recent version of Receiver for Mac.

CTX200322 - Additional Lifecycle Information for Citrix Receiver for WindowsPrinting Changes:
Printing in Citrix Receiver 11.8.2 has changed from the previous IS&T distributed version, 11.3.2. In 11.3.2, when initiating a print job, a dialog box would prompt in the Citrix App, followed by another, Mac OS print dialog box. While many users use this function for saving files to PDF within the Mac OS print dialog, this was considered redundant by Citrix and has been removed since version 11.4 (see Improved Printing Support note in the What's New section). Users are only able to configure their print jobs while in the Citrix App they are running.

Printing to PDF:
IS&T is working on a workaround for saving files to PDF from Citrix Apps, though none is available at this time. Users who need to print to PDF should remain on 11.3.2 or use desired app in a IS&T virtual machine.
February 2014: IS&T is investigating the cause of this behavior. More information will be posted here as it becomes available.

Workaround
- Workaround solutions:
- Save the file to the WIN.MIT.EDU share.
- Save the file to a USB drive, then copy over to the Macintosh hard drive.
- The above workaround solutions are inconvenient and labor intensive. Although Citrix 11.3 is not officially supported for use on Mac OS 10.11, users may wish to continue to use Citrix 11.3.
- To downgrade from Citrix 11.8 to Citrix 11.3, users should run that Uninstaller that is packaged with the Citrix 11.8 installer.
