Someone else mentioned ThinPrint and we used this precisely to reduce the size of print jobs. We were getting A3 CAD drawings printing out over a satellite link down to 15 seconds or so. Before ThinPrint, they were taking minutes to print. Haven't looked at it for a while though, I think there are lots of new features in the app. Russell Russell Robertson | Virtual Stream | W:www.virtualstream.co.uk | From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jason Patten Sent: 28 September 2007 15:14 To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: printer aggravation Well I did some testing with Screwdrivers awhile back and it didnt work right with our check printing solution. As far as the size of spool jobs It really hasn't been an issue overall as far as I can tell. Our apps primarily use active reports or unfortunately Crystal reports to generate the documents that users print.

We installed it 4 years ago now and never looked back. We've got HP's, Xerox multifunctions, Lexmarks, and who knows what else out in the remote locations. It's been nothing but smooth for us! -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of anthonyabraham@xxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thu 9/27/2007 8:54 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: printer aggravation For those who use the universal driver, how do you guys get around large spool files going over your WAN (assuming the Print Server and Citrix Servers are across the WAN from your clients). We've had issues where PDF files spool to 150Mb and you can imagine the issues this causes as it traverses over a WAN. We are looking at using Screwdrivers or possibly using the Universal Driver with an indirect Printer Policy to get around this. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

They are host-based.

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.
