[THIN] Re: [QUAR]Re: MAC printing and Citrix seems to suck the bi g one

Well what I posted was somewhat misleading, in our environment we ONLY have
networked lasers, so I know they should be generic postscripts. If your
environment includes things like locally attached deskwriters, then you
actually have to make the appropriate choices in the default settings in the
Client Config.
 
Mac OS9 printing is limited to whatever the default printer is, because you
can only make one choice in the default settings.  If know you are printing
to a specific type of printer, you can select that printers PPD. But I've
never had a reason to go back and change from default postscript when
dealing with network lasers.

Thanks Bray
Following your instructions has done the trick for MAC OS 9 printing.
 
Have you been successful using anything other than the "generic postscript
printer"? 
Are there any limitations or issues printing with the "generic postscript
printer".

Make sure you are on the latest 6.20 ica client thats available.  Are you
launching via the Web Interface or ICA file?  I've had problems with
settings inside the ICA files interfering with printer autocreation for OS9
macs.
 
Also make sure the user you are testing with is allowed to autocreate
printers. (The OS9 Autocreated Printers have nothing  to do with the UPD,
its mechanism is entirely separate.)  There are a ton of places that can
prevent printer autocreation. TS tab in ADUC, Listener Config on each TS,
Citrix Policies, and can be overriden in ICA files.
 
Here is my setup document that I give to the other techs.

Let me know where your screens start to differ.
