Matthew,

You can control this behavior with FR3. In the CMC, under Printer Management
Properties, under printers there is a setting Always create client network
printers as client printers. If it is checked users network printers will
show up as:

\\client\clientname#\\\printservername\printersharename

If it is unchecked then it will show up as the printer name. With this
feature enabled, network printers are created as client printers in the ICA
session. 

With FR2 this was controlled in the registry under:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Citrix\ClientPrinterAuto
Create

Value Name: fCreateNetworkPrinter
Value Type: DWORD
Value: 1 (to have network printers created as client printers)
Value: 0 (to retain the Feature Release 2 behavior)

Subject: [THIN] FR3 printing looks different?


I am in the process of setting up my new farm printers. I have some
sites that don't have a print server that will use autocreated printers.
I have other sites that won't use autocreated at all (logon script
installed printers).

 

In FR3 I am seeing two types of icons appear for autocreated printers.
One icon looks like a standard network printer (but it was autocreated).
The other type says "Client\domain.com-username\printer name". 

 

The network printer appears to print direct to the print server. The
other seems to print to the client...

 

How do I control this? They should all be in this case printing directly
to the print server instead of to the client. I've heard people talk
about "importing the print server" do I need to do this? Does anyone
have a white paper on how FR3 printing works?

 

Thanks for all the help,
