Hi,
 
First thing to try is using printcfg to see if the printers can be autocreated 
manually. 
 
If this works then fixing things up is fairly simple.
 
If not, fixing the problem may require either deleting and recreating the ICA 
listeners (tscc.msc), or worst case uninstalling/reinstalling Metaframe. The 
latter can be a bit challenging depending on FR/SP level.
 
regards,

Subject: [THIN] Printer Autocreation not working after Winsock fix



Hi folks;

The subject line pretty much says it all -- printers are no longer
autocreating after having to do extensive work fixing a spywared
Citrix MF XP \ Windows 2000 server.  Some piece of spyware had broken
the IE/winsock relationship and utilities such as LSPFix and
WinsockFix failed to restore the necessary registry entries.  The
short-term resolution was to back up and restore the
HKLM\..Services\Winsock and Winsock2 keyes from an identical server.

Since then, though, printer autocreation is 'frozen' - there are a
small number of autocreated client printers which persist from reboot
to reboot, but no new ones are created (and the old ones never go
away).  I've cleared out the spool\printers directory and restarted
services, rebooted, etc, and no joy.

Any suggestions short of reinstalling Citrix and/or rebuilding?
