The advantage I believe is if you set in your CMC to only auto-create local
printers. That way when clients logon to their session it is not slowed by
auto-creating network printers. The auto-created network printers are still
in the network print folder for the users. Citrix is calling this
auto-connected printers as if this is not confusing enough. For this to
work, however you must import the print server and associate user groups to
those
printers.

Thanks very much for the info as it has been very helpful. However I am
still confused why some printers are client and some are network when
they are all autocreated. I checked the setting you spoke about and in
the CMC and it was turned off already. I turned it on for fun and it
then made all autocreated printers client printers. I turned it back off
and it went back to some network and some client. I can't see why some
are network while others are client...they appear to be installed all
the same.

Ideally I'd like to keep with logon scripts to map my printers on the
fat PCs. Then I'd like to autocreate the Citrix printers with the
network printers not the client printers. However I don't see a way to
force the network printer autocreated printers.

1) Is there a reason that some printers have to be created as client
printers?
2) When my WI users connect the autocrated printers show up as
client\domain-user\printer is this normal?

Again thanks for everyone's help!

I think essentially what happens when you import the print server it
moves that auto-created newtwork print from the client print folder
to the network print folder so that client does not have to enumerate
the printers on logon. One draw back on the imported print servers has
been
retaining the default printer. Scripts may be the only way to ensure
retaining default printer.

Subject: [THIN] FR3 printing looks different?


I am in the process of setting up my new farm printers. I have some
sites that don't have a print server that will use autocreated printers.
I have other sites that won't use autocreated at all (logon script
installed printers).

 

In FR3 I am seeing two types of icons appear for autocreated printers.
One icon looks like a standard network printer (but it was autocreated).
The other type says "Client\domain.com-username\printer name". 

 

The network printer appears to print direct to the print server. The
other seems to print to the client...

 

How do I control this? They should all be in this case printing directly
to the print server instead of to the client. I've heard people talk
about "importing the print server" do I need to do this? Does anyone
have a white paper on how FR3 printing works?

 

Thanks for all the help,
