[THIN] Re: Changing printers within a session

There are a few printing issues with PS4.0 on 2003 SP1.  Most of them
seem to be caused if a user is trying to map 4 or more printers.  I've
seen a variety of things mentioned as to what may fix it.  3 and 14 were
mentioned by one poster, and another said a new hotfix 8 will solve the
issue.

I had had 3 installed and ran 14, and so far so good, but who knows.
I'm anxiously waiting the hotfix rollup I hear Citrix plans to release.
They need to light some fires under their rears on these hotfixes.

Subject: [THIN] Changing printers within a session



Testing for a newly published application. 

W2K3, CTX PS 4.0, hotfix 2 and 3. 

Users reporting they change a printer within a published app., and can
not change it back? 

Here is what I am testing.  Published desktop.  Notepad.  Simple text as
a test. 

I hit print, it gives me a list of printers, with my default as the
first option.  Fine. 

I hit print again and choose printer 2, hit print, prints to printer 2. 

I hit print again, and instead of changing back to the default, now
printer 2 is highlighted to print to, and if you hit print, it prints to
2.

I change my default in the published desktop to printer 2, without
closing the application (notepad), printer 2 shows as the default
(checkmark), but the original p0ritner is still highlighted and will
print there.

Users are having a hard time in their app., controlling where the print
job will go to.  Within the app., they print to default X printer, then
print another form, and change the printer to y, print jobs are not
being sent there.  I believe it is because X is still the highlighted
printer, as noted above.

Make any sense?  Patch I am missing?
