I have a strange printing issue from a fat client device.  The client is
running PeopleSoft as a published app via NFuse.  I have used the 'NET USE'
command to map the shared local printer (HP LaserJet 1000) to LPT5.  The
printer is a USB connected printer.  To do the LPT5 mapping I shared the local
printer.  I then issued the following command to map the printer to LPT5:  NET
USE LPT5 \\<localcomputername>\<sharename <\\<localcomputername>\<sharename> >
/persistent:Yes

When I print an SQR report from PeopleSoft that goes to this printer it looks
like everything runs just fine.  If I have the local printer window open I can
see the 'down level' report show up for the printer, yet NOTHING prints.  The
user has no problems printing to the printer from the local workstation, or
from other Citrix apps.

Citrix is running on a Windows 2000 SP3 server.  MetaFrame XPe FR2/SP2.  The
workstation is Windows 2000 SP4.

Any ideas?   Thanks for your help!
