Wfica32.exe - Program Error may Occur when Printing from the ICA Version 7.100 
Client using Universal Print Driver PCL:4 

Issue 
Wfica32.exe - Program error when printing graphics using the Universal Print 
Driver PCL:4. 
Symptoms 
When attempting to print multiple pages that contain graphics with the ICA 
7.100 Windows 32-bit Client using Universal Print Driver PCL: 4, an error 
message similar to the following appears:

"Error: Wfica32.exe - Program Error may occur and cause the public application 
to terminate." 
Users may also receive the following Dr. Watson error message: 
"Application exception occurred:
App: wfica32.exe (pid=xxxx)
Exception number: c0000094 (divide by zero)" 
Steps to Reproduce the Problem 
In the Citrix Management Console, set the MetaFrame XP server to Feature 
Release 2. 
From the Management Console, go to Printer Management > Drivers , and select 
Universal Driver Only. 
Using the ICA Version 7.100 Windows 32-bit Client, connect to a published 
application containing graphics; for example, Internet Explorer or Microsoft 
Paint.

Verify that the Universal Print Driver being used is the [UPD:PCL4]. This 
follows the end of the autocreated printer name.

Try to print multiple pages of pictures from Internet Explorer or Microsoft 
Paint and the error will occur. 
Note: This error occurredc only when attempting to print multiple pages that 
contain graphics. It did not occur when trying to print text files.

Workarounds 
Use an earlier version of the ICA Windows 32 bit client because the problem 
occurs only with Version 7.100. 
In the Management Console, enable Feature Release 3 and make sure the 
autocreated printer is using UPD PCL5.
