In your policy do you have auto-creation enabled?

Printing -> Client Printers -> Auto Creation
We changed ours to Auto-create local (non-network) client printers only.

The reason is, if the user has the network printer created locally, it
creates another printer in citrix that has the long name
\\client\printerserver\printer.

Sorry if this is not what you are talking about, but it sounded similar to a
problem we had a while back.
