Terry,

If the users have admin privileges I think they'll see the other users'
printers.

Subject: [THIN] Auto-Created Printers and security


I am relatively new to Citrix and this forum.  Please bear with my naivety.
I have clients that login to our Citrix server farm to access accounting
applications we run.  They have the need to print to printers that are local
to their network, so we allow auto-creation of printers for Citirx users.
The problem is, all users see everyone elses printers when they login.  On a
couple of occasions, I have had one client print to another clients printer.
On both occasions it was confidential material.  Is there a way to secure
auto-created printers so that each client can only see their own printers
and not everyone's printers?  Or to at least secure them so the users can't
mistakenly print to someone else's printer.

We are running Metaframe 1.8 FR1 SP4 on W2K SP4.  Clients using different
OS's from Win 98 to Win XP and either Nfuse 1.6.1 or PN 7.10 to connect.

Thanks.
