i'm in the process now of upgrading. about half of my 30+ have been upgraded. I have had some issues with printing but the latest client and the hotfixes seem to have corrected the majority of the issues.

i also had a couple of issues that were not printer related. one was the memory optimizations broke one app and i have another that is having issue with the twain dll. other then that, i have had a lot of positive comments.

We are contemplating a move to PS 4 and one of the things being discussed is do we still need Tricerat's Simplify Printing. I would welcome anyone's input concerning the printing of PS4.
Thanks.

From reading on the Citrix Support forums from customers, about the only
complaint with MPS4.0 is printing.  People who upgraded from MPS3.0 ->
MPS4.0 say that they had no ussues under 3.0 but are having problems
under 4.0.  Citrix has released 5 or 6 hotifxes now with printing
relates fixes for 4.0 and there are still issues with the default
printing not being rememebred, or loosing printing resources all
together. I know I've been having issues and I had a brand new 4.0 farm,
no upgrades or anything "weird".

All,

About a yr ago, we started the process of building a new farm here.  I
got
new servers, new versions of applications, new version of the OS (w2k3
vs
w2k).   What should have taken a few months is up to 10 months.  A huge
chunk of the slowdown is that this new setup is not a high priority for
us,
as compared to maintaining the 911 system, PD/Fire dispatch, etc.  Well,
we
are almost done.  The new platform is W2K3 (no SP1) and MPS3 with the
2005.4 service pack.    My question is: should we bite the bullet and
click
the check box to turn my MPS3 farm into an MPS4 farm?  We use TScale and
Simplified Printing so I don't expect to use those feature of MPS4.  As
for
licensing, I have SA so we are covered there too.
