[THIN] Re: Urgent help needed: client printers auto-creation.

Bruce,
 
But my spooler is not showing the stopped state - it says that the service is 
up and running. I use windows 2000 recovery options for the Print Spooler to 
restart it every time it crashes, but as far as logs say it did not crash at 
all.
 

Thanks,

I do not know.. We have this problem ever so often and have not been able to 
track it down.  Sometime the print spooler crashes and the no printers 
installed message comes up and we know to check the print spooler.
I am not sure where to go other than that.

Bruce,
 
it worked! after I restarted spooler all the printers that were disconnected 
come back.
 
The question is what is the problem? The thing is there were some autocreated 
client printers even before I restarted spooler but after the restart the rest 
of printers came up in Printers folder.
 
Do I have a problem driver in citrix? I generally try to use only PCL5e but 
there can be occasional PCL6... On top of it I see new drivers pushed to 
servers even though I disabled installing native drivers....
 

Thanks,

Try stopping and restarting the print spooler on the specific Citrix server.

Hi group, 

I had my printer environment nicely working up until about 2 weeks ago when I 
started receiving helpdesk calls from users the were unable to print to their 
client printers. The applications will say "No printers installed. Use Control 
Panel...". PRINTCFG shows all the client printers in "Disconnected" state. 
Attempts to connect them hangs PRINTCFG. The session remains responsive. No 
errors in event Log whatsoever related to this. This happens for both printers 
with native drivers on the servers and these that do not have them and use 
Universal driver. Printers arranged through CMS and imported printserver seem 
to work fine.

No recent changes were done on the servers. Server are not updated with MS 
patches. 

Farm is 4 W2K SP4 servers Citrix XP3/SP4 
Priner settings in CMC: 

-Use universal driver only when native driver is not available 
-Automatically install native drivers UNCHECKED 
-Autocreate client printers when user logs on CHECKED 
-Inherit client printers settings for keeping printed documents CHECKED 
-All client printers 

Any help is greatly appreciated as we're drowning in the helpdesk 
calls.....SOS!
