That is weird. Instead of looking at the counters as you try to print, try
using Regmon and Filemon from sysinternals on your Citrix boxes as you try
to print and see what is going on behind the scenes that is not working. It
is definitely something with how the PPII is setup because it is alot
different on a Citrix box than it is on a normal pc, I remember when I first
set it up on my Metaframe boxes it took a few tries before I got it right...

That is correct, nothing with PPII is working. Another thing I just
found, looking at counters in the Meditech Document manager on the
server's console I can watch the counters climb as I try to print....

But you have not yet printed successfully using any printer, using
Citrix and PPII, correct?

The printer is listed as \Client\<pc-name>#\<printer-name>. I can print
from things like Notepad, etc via Citrix to the local printer.
The PC is defined as WINTERM in Meditech and the devices associated with
it are vga.
I have tried it on a couple PCs and a Neoware thin client with the same
results. On the PCs if I just run the Meditech Workstation it works
fine, it really looks like an issue with Citrix or Term Services and how
I have the Meditech Workstation installed on the server, but I can't for
the life of me figure it out.
A little more info, with any printer except the HP LaserJet 1200, I can
select the HPLASERIIII instead of PPII and it prints just fine. Using
PPII and NOT using Citrix, the 1200 works just fine. Here's the
problem, we have a mess of home transcriptionist that have been given
the 1200 and the powers-to-be want them coming in via VPN and Citrix.

When you enter PPII in the Printer Options, what is listed as the
Default printer?
I should be the Client printer. Do the drivers work on Citrix?
And if so.............
How is the thin client defined in Meditech?
