Thanks Jim. I did think of this. The only thing of it is our security is
based on groups. We have a high school group. All members of the group move
from lab to lab with in the same building. In the past with a fat client we
controlled this by only installing the printer for the lab on the specific
lab workstations. With the thinstation the printing has shifted from the
workstation to the server. I guess my dilemma is the HS group. I even
thought about a script that disables the ip port in the registry. This still
would not work with a large group that migrate from lab to lab. 

 

Thanks for the help.

 You can just set security on the network printers themselves via the
security tab in the printers properties applet on the server. This will
prevent users whom you don't want to access it using it.

HI,

 

I just started using Citrix and a thin client solution in our labs. I work
for a small school district. I have deployed thinstation in two labs. So
fare it works great. One problem I have is restricting access to printers. I
am using Citrix Presentation 4.5 with Term services on W2K3. On the one
server for both labs I have two printers installed. This gives the students
the ability to choose either printer. This is not a good idea in a Middle
School High School setting. Is there a way to limit printing on the
thinstation to only one ip based printer? The only options seems to be
sharing LPT1 or USB. 

 

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
