i'm not sure about metaframe 1.8 but on XPe it's no problem to map client
printer drivers to citrix's universal print driver.  You can be sure that
the universal print driver will not crash your servers. the drawback is that
the universal print driver will not have as many settings as the normal
driver (no colour, no duplexing, etc). 

If you cant do it in 1.8 then I'd recommend testing the NT4 print drivers
first. Most drivers will be fine. HP had a list of compatible drivers.
Someone posted the URL to this list recently. Take a look through the
archives for that post.

Hope this helps,

Subject: [THIN] printing question


I have a W2K print server and 22 W2K Citrix Metaframe 1.8 SP3 server. All
W2K servers are in a NT4 domain A . Clients computer are in several NT4
domain with relationships with domain A.

For printing, i want to declare print queues on the W2K server print server
share printers and add NT4 drivers for clients computers.

With NT4, clients use NT4 drivers of w2K print server and when they connect
on MF 1.8, ICA protocol is configured to remap printers of the client. So in
ICA session, they have the sames printers...

Is it dangerous to have multiple OS print drivers on the W2K print server ??
I have read that the print server can crash with BSOD if there are suspect
drivers on the print server with ICA or TS using.

Note that the print server have not MF installed.

If somebody have experience, thanks...


Nicolas
