[THIN] Re: Default Printers

Actually I found the work around for this today.  Apparently this is working as 
designed.  Check out Citrix article CTX107415.  If anyone has any questions let 
me know but we were able to get it to work.

  Michael:

  Just a basic question (sometimes the answer -that's why I offer):  Are you 
separating the Terminal Server User Profiles from their User Profiles (if you 
are using Roaming User Profiles) in AD; and naturally, have you checked their 
read/write permissions to where you are storing their profiles?  Finally are 
they mandatory profiles or are they allowed to make changes?

  Subject: RE: [THIN] Default Printers

   

  I've had problems with users and default printers for quite some time now.  
My environment is essentially the same.  I have a series of policies defined 
that will assign printers based on the user, and all of them are set to not 
touch the default printer.  My users don't have access to a desktop at all, so 
If the user sets a default printer within an individual app's print dialog, or 
through a published printer control panel sometimes the setting will be 
retained and sometimes it won't.  Generally I thought it was an issue with 
roaming profiles, and so I've ensured that they don't have any other 
applications open at the same time, etc.  I can't find the magic variable.  

   

  I've even done some research into the applicable registry keys so I could 
just reset the user's default within their login scripts.  However, IIRC there 
are at least three different registry values that control the default printer, 
and they tie to port numbers that are not consistent between TS boxes... so 
that I think is going to be a lost cause too.

   

  Before "policies" were implemented in Citrix it atleast seemed that once a 
user selected their default it would stay selected.

   

  Please let me know if you find any additional information.

  Has anyone seen an issue with PS4.5 and the user setting there default 
printer?  Using policies we give our users 5 or 6 printers from a network print 
server.  They then set there default and move on.  But when they logout there 
default printer is not set properly.  We are using roaming profiles etc.  but 
the default printer info will not save.  

   

  Any suggestions?

   

  Thanks,

   

  Michael
