Thanks Jim, I've got the EOL Universal Printer but 99point9.com's =
knowledge base has little on autocreated printers. Got any links or =
pointers on where to configure this?

Yes buy one of the third party printing products like EOL Universal =
Printer,
ThinPrint or triCerat Screwdrivers that let you set a printer to a
workstation name(ip or mac even in EOL's product) instead of using the
username to autocreate the printer.

Subject: [THIN] Clientname changing with password change
Hi,
I've read through the admin manual, checked out CTX859359 and searched the =
=3D
thin.net for a resolution to this issue, and unless I've missed it (it's a =
=3D
heavily covered topic) I don't see an obvious solution to this problem I =
=3D
have with the names of autocreated client printers.
My setup is Win2K SP3 MF XP FR2, users login through NFuse to NetWare and =
=3D
their user account is created by the Novell workstation manager on the =3D
Citrix server. As their username is long and the ICA client limits the =
=3D
client name to 20 bytes (see CTX859359) the full username is shortened =3D
from "username.ou.ou.ou.tree" to the clientname "tree-.username.-nnnnn#" =
=3D
visible when the (local) printer is autocreated. This is fine, and as it =
=3D
should be, and I have an application (EskerTUN) where I manually setup =3D
printing to these printer names as the user logs on for the first time.
The problem comes when the user changes their password, their clientname =
=3D
changes(!) seemingly randomly, e.g. "tree-.username.-abcde#" becomes =3D
"tree-.username.-fghij#" which messes up my app configuration and I have =
=3D
to reselect the new printername for that user.
For the life of me I can't understand why changing you password in NDS =3D
would change your clientname as the local user account is created and =3D
deleted every time the user logs on and off, so I have two questions:
Why does the clientname change when the password is changed?
Is there a way around it that doesn't involve changing our username =3D
schema?
Cheers in advance,
