I'll write a quick bit of documentation and post it for download
somewhere. It shouldn't take long.

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.
