[THIN] Re: Monitor LPT port traffic

Hi Jason,


Sysinternals (www.sysinternals.com) have a port monitor that might help, at
least at the client end. 

Does the application print to a redirected LPT port? If it does then
monitoring ICA virtual channel traffic might be kind of useful too. A lot
depends on whether the app is happy talking to a redirected port. You can
sometimes see timeouts because non-video/kbd/mouse virtual channels are
running at a lower priority and blocksize. 

Regards,

Rick

I have 40+ Citrix servers that run an application that prints direct to =
