FR2 works differently from FR2. Instead of adding client installed
network printers as client printers it communicates with the print
server and adds them as network printers on the Citrix Server. I had
this problem with my XP farm and the printers were bogging everything
down due to them communicating across the Wan to talk to the print
server. There is a fix for this that requires a couple files and a
couple reg hacks to disable this feature on SP2 and allow the client
printers to be created like they were up until SP2.

Subject: [THIN] Printing Problems POST FR2
We are running Windows 2000 Servers and e updated our MetaFrame XP farm
to
FR2 this weekend.
At the same time due to other requirements we had to upgrade to IE 6
SP1.
We are running seamless apps.
Now the problem:
When a user logs in they are not getting their Local default printer.
Some testing that I have done is as follows:
1. With only IE open I change the default printer and close IE and this
keeps that default printer.
2. If I open Excel it has the default printer that I set in my IE
session.
3. If I then change the default printer locally it is not my default
printer
but the default printer that I set in IE.
4. If I change the default printer through a Cirtix desktop on the same
server that I have Excel running Excel's default printer changes right
then,
I do not have to close and reopen Excel.
5. If I go to another server with Citrix desktop and change the printer
there it does not change in Excel. However, if I close Excel then the
desktop session in that order, next time I open Excel it has got the new
default printer which is not my local default.
6. I see that every one has a registry key of HKEY_USERS\(user
sid)\PRINTERS
DeviceOld = and it is this key that is changing to the default
printers
for the user based on their last printer for a server not local client.
Thank you,
