How are you applying this policy?
In this case, I would setup a minimum of two policies. One for internal and
one for external and apply those policies based on IP subnet ranges or if
you're using smart access use that as your filter.

Subject: [THIN] Local vs. Network printers
Being an Insurance company, we have a policy that does not allow printing to
local printers as the information may be confidential. We have been able to
implement this with a policy in our CMC. We only block this when users are
coming through the CAG, no need to block this behavior when people are
connected to the network.
Our intent was never to block users from printing to network printers. We
have just learned that in fact, we are. Apparently, the policy that we
created is blocking all printing - local and network.
Question: Is there a way to block the creation and/or mapping of local
printers (someone's printer at home or remote office) but allow users to
print to network printers (printers on our network and published in AD)
and/or add them to their Citrix profile as needed?
Current policy details:
* Client Devices -> Resources -> Ports -> turn off LPT ports --
Enabled
* Printing -> Client Printers -> Auto Creation -- Enabled and set to
Do not auto-create client printers
* Printing -> Client Printers -> Turn off client printer mapping --
Enabled
I appreciate any help that you have to offer.
Thank you,
