Absolutely - this was found by us after the fact and since installing it -
all kinds of issues went away

With FR2, if you've imported a network print server, those printers will be
added to your user sessions in the profile.  They will not show up if you
click \\servername and then open Printers.  They will also NOT abide by
your
Citrix printer remappings.  In order to make network printers show up under
Printers and abide by the printer mappings, you must install Citrix Hotfix
XE102W064 AND create the registry key described below.


The following is from a readme file about Hotfix XE102W064.


20.  Printing to an ICA Client device's networked printer through an ICA
session was sometimes slower in Feature Release 2 than in Feature Release
1.
This occurred when the Feature Release 2 server and the ICA Client were
separated by a wide area network
(WAN) and the networked printer was on the client side of the network.

Another problem occurred when the Feature Release 2 server and the ICA
Client device were on two separate networks and both networks had a
networked printer with the same name. Print jobs that intended to be
printed
on the networked printer on the client side were instead sent to the
networked printer on the Feature Release 2 server network instead.

When a Feature Release 2 server is separated from the ICA Client by a wide
area network (WAN) and the networked printer is on the ICA Client side of
the network, printing is slower when the server connects directly to the
networked printer, rather than when a Feature Release 2 server creates a
client print queue for the networked printer. This occurs in the first
example above because print data is sent using Microsoft's SMB protocol. In
the second example, print data is sent using the Citrix ICA protocol, which
offers data reduction.

The hotfix introduces a registry switch so that you can toggle which
functionality you want - direct connection to network printers from a
Feature Release 2 server or the network printers created as client printers
that print through the ICA Client device.

Navigate to the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Citrix\ClientPrinterAuto

Create

Value Name: fCreateNetworkPrinter
Value Type: DWORD
Value: 1 (to have network printers created as client printers)
Value: 0 (to retain the Feature Release 2 behavior)


Hope this helps!
