I have found wth MICR and HP laserjets to run them all as an HP Laserjet
4 Plus.  I actually setup a second queue just for check writing that
points to the same port but with that driver.  Works out very well.
 
My biggest problem printer is the HP Deskjet 6122.
 
I only have problems with HP drivers.
 
Canon, Oki, Lexmark have given me zero trouble.  Oki printers are still
my favorite.

        Wow I guess I didn't realize how good I had it...   ANd here I
was complaining about 2-3 types of printers that are proving to be real
headaches.  Though I have noticed the PCL6 drivers on the HP laserJets
are proving to be a pain in the rear.   I try and get the users to
switch over to PS drivers as much as possible.  Though when they do for
some reason on our check writer module the MICR line gets moved down one
line and causes problems with the banks.

                Lucky dog!!  We have multi-functional printers (Xerox)
that are a Print Driver nightmare!   One thing I have found out is never
install a Xerox PCL printer driver.  Use only PS print drivers with
Xerox and make sure the driver has been cleared by Xerox in Terminal
Server / Citrix as a good printer otherwise(test first-don't believe
them), major headaches/problems....I'm getting sick!!!  : :-)

                well for us its a great thing because we don't have to
worry about aliasing a few hundred types of printers.  Our client base
is entirely remote PC's stationed in hotel back offices or at various
management company offices,  It is extremely heterogeneous.  Not having
to worry about drivers and getting as close to plug-n-print as we can
simplifies our support life immensely.

                Along these same lines, what is the advantage of the
universal driver or better question, enforcing universal for all
printers? Obviously not having to install 100 drivers on your citrix box
is the obvious answer but what if you only have a handful of drivers to
worry about? Then you use universal if someone has say a home printer
they need to connect fom the outside.

                FOr the most part  I love the new Universal printer, but
even with that I am encountering various printers that do not print.
Primarily I am having trouble with various Lexmark printers and the HP
LaserJet 1022.  
                Currently by citrix policy I enforce universal driver
for all printers, but I am looking at creating an exemption policy for
those users that are having trouble with printing and trying to setup a
mapping for those paticular models that are giving me fits. 
                
                ANy ideas on the best way to go about that or what
drivers I should use?
                I know currently there are issues with the Lexmark
X3550, Lexmark T520, and HP laserJet 1022
                
                Of course I also have issues with various users running
Mcaffee and its printer issues are always fun.
