I would like further information on this please!
We have a 4.5 farm and Many printers and this would be ideal for our setup.
Thanks!

We use a simple utility with an MSSQL back end. Clients are assigned up to 3
NT print queues (\\server\share <file:///\\server\share> ) in the database,
which the utility queries at startup. If a match is found for the client
name, the utility makes a Win32 API call to map the printer, falling back to
CON2PRT to set the default or if the API call fails. It includes other
functionality to map queues only if the specified driver exists on the
Citrix box but that's the core of it.
It's fairly tightly integrated into our environment at the moment but I'd be
happy to share it and information with any interested parties.

Subject: [THIN] Default Printers & Mandatory Profiles
Every since our switch from roaming profiles to mandatory profiles
(Provision Networks Meta-Profile), our users have had to set their default
printers every morning. Now this may not seem like a big deal but to our
users they would rather shove bamboo under their fingernails than do this
every morning.
We have tried to make it easier for by using DABCC's default printer tool
but they still had to set it every time they logged in. We have used Citrix
printer policies to automatically set printers but we have too many
locations with too many printers to make this effective.
What I would like to know is there a way or a tool that will allow our users
to set their default printer once and then not have to worry about it again?
So that it is retained login after login.
Any help would be most appreciated.
