Hi Jason,

Your experience has been a "feature" of ICA client autocreated printers for
a long time. The basic rationale is that if the server can't autocreate a
queue to your default local printer in a timely fashion, it will assign the
last printer in the printers list as your default printer. If you create a
local queue on the server, named something like zznull, and connect it to
the NUL: local port, it will effectively act as a bit bucket for misdirected
default printers.

This doesn't fix the problem, but it at least stops people's print jobs from
going to the wrong place. Now you got to do a bit of work with printcfg.exe
to find out why things aren't happening. It may require appropriate printer
drivers or aliassing to make things work properly.

Regards,

Rick

Subject: [THIN] Good reference info on Citrix printing



Does anyone know of any good Citrix printing support information.  I have an

issue where Citrix print jobs (that use Novell NetWare 5.x queus) are 
sporadically being redirected to other users network printers (i.e. a user 
prints something and puts it to print to a queue at one location but it ends
up 
printing in the queue at another location instead).  I have seen this before

when users have the same clientname, but this doesn't seem to be the issue.

Anyone ever seen this before?
