And the check for allow install of native printers, is unchecked?

Subject: [THIN] Where the %&#$ are these drivers coming from?

 

Here's a nice fun one.  PS4 enterprise, 3 servers.  Policies are set to grab
native drives, otherwise use Citrix UPD.  There are no printer mappings, and
no print drivers set to replicate.  No session printers, no imported print
servers, and no login scripts that run on the Citrix servers other than the
default usrlogon.cmd files.  

 

I went through and deleted out all non-native MS drivers.  In fact, I wiped
out all drivers except the Citrix UPD.  I went into the registry and
verified that the only driver was listed under version-3 and was the Citrix
UPD.  All should be good, right? 

 

Nope.  The next time a user logged on using a Canon driver, it auto-created,
and auto-installed the driver.  I can see it in the registry listed as a
driver with Canon listed as the provider, and not Microsoft.  My question to
you guys, how is this driver being installed?  I refreshed the local host
cache on all servers (datastore is SQL), and did an update printer and
driver information after deleting all the drivers, and verified that in the
CMC, only the UPD was listed for this particular server I'm testing with
(although it happens on all of them). 

 

Help!
