This worked on a server last night,....now, once again, another PS 4.0 server (W2K SP4), that the printers have stopped auto-creating, and those that exist on the server, are not deleted upon logoff of the users...this is getting ridiculous. ________________________________ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Carl Stalhood Sent: Tuesday, March 20, 2007 5:25 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Auto created printers stuck 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 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! ________________________________ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Mike Semon Sent: Monday, March 19, 2007 8:50 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Auto created printers stuck 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.

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. Chad Schneider Technology Analyst/Citrix Admin.
