It's one of the pulled hotfixes because of the XML port being reset.  It
can still be pulled up on the website.  I got a link the actual CTX
article by reading the Citrix Support forums
 
This place has all the hotfixes for download:
http://www.printingsupport.com/hotfixes/cps4_on_2k3
 
 
I got info from this post:

I don't see a hotfix 10 for PS 4.0 on W2k3.

I got the hotfix wrong, it was 10.  I re-read the post on Citrix Support
forums again and realized that last night.

14 appears to only apply to the prior service port 80 issue, as well as
seamless issues on multiple monitors.
 
The more testing I have done, local Notepad does the same thing, so
wondering if it is really an issue.

There are a few printing issues with PS4.0 on 2003 SP1.  Most of them
seem to be caused if a user is trying to map 4 or more printers.  I've
seen a variety of things mentioned as to what may fix it.  3 and 14 were
mentioned by one poster, and another said a new hotfix 8 will solve the
issue.

I had had 3 installed and ran 14, and so far so good, but who knows.
I'm anxiously waiting the hotfix rollup I hear Citrix plans to release.
They need to light some fires under their rears on these hotfixes.

Testing for a newly published application. 

W2K3, CTX PS 4.0, hotfix 2 and 3. 

Users reporting they change a printer within a published app., and can
not change it back? 

Here is what I am testing.  Published desktop.  Notepad.  Simple text as
a test. 

I hit print, it gives me a list of printers, with my default as the
first option.  Fine. 

I hit print again and choose printer 2, hit print, prints to printer 2. 

I hit print again, and instead of changing back to the default, now
printer 2 is highlighted to print to, and if you hit print, it prints to
2.

I change my default in the published desktop to printer 2, without
closing the application (notepad), printer 2 shows as the default
(checkmark), but the original p0ritner is still highlighted and will
print there.

Users are having a hard time in their app., controlling where the print
job will go to.  Within the app., they print to default X printer, then
print another form, and change the printer to y, print jobs are not
being sent there.  I believe it is because X is still the highlighted
printer, as noted above.

Make any sense?  Patch I am missing?
