I script this by importing .reg files and restarting the spooler.
The first .reg file deletes the Printers key:
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers]
The second .reg file recreates the Printers key with all local printers (PDF
printers, Fax printers, etc.). Create the second file by exporting the Print
key on a system with no client printers.
Once the two .reg files have been imported I then restart the spooler.
Sample script:
pskill cpsvc
net stop spooler /y
del /q %systemroot%\system32\spool\printers\*.*
regedit /s c:\windows\printersdelete.reg
regedit /s c:\windows\printers.reg
net start spooler
net start cpsvc
I sometimes see event log entries with the AddPrinter 0x3FB error code
resulting in no client printers being created. Running this script always
fixes that problem.

I have had 2 more servers with this same problem since.
I have one that I have tried everything I can find, and still have 431
client auto-created printers on this server, reboots, print spooler
r4estarts, chgcdm /delete_client_printers, NOTHING!

If it is a permission problem look at CTX108004.
Resolution
You can grant the permission to an administrator for autocreated printers so
that an administrator can manage those autocreated printers. You can add the
following registry key and values to Presentation Server so that autocreated
printers have the access rights for an administrator when an ICA session is
established. By doing this an administrator can change autocreated printers'
properties as needed.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\Print
Value: DefaultPrnFlags
Data type: REG_DWORD
Data value: 0x4000
Note: Add the Data value as a Hex number.

This has worked in the past, I have one now, that this does nothing for.
458 printers stuck on the server, post running this, restarting print
spooler, rebooting, etc.

I have a W2K server, PS 4.0, R02, R02001 server, which suddenly has 165 auto
created printers "stuck" on it.
Have tried bouncing the spooler, CPSvc, rebooting, etc., and the printers
remain.
Unable to delete, access denied. I got one to delete, had to go in, take
ownership, add rights, and delete...hoping I don't have to do this 165 more
times.
