Sounds like the driver you are using for one of the printer that the users
uses is causing the problems. Try using a different driver, one that is
known to work well on citrix, and see if the users still get the issue.

I would say that the reason there are some prints going to the wrong printer
is just due to them printing directly to their default printer, that has
changed during logon to something different.

Thomas
