Just write a script similar to this...

::Install the printer
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n \\printserver\printer1

::Delete the printer, but leave the driver installed
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /dn /n \\printserver\printer1

Then run this on all you Citrix servers.

There are obviously many ways to do this, but this will assist you to
automate it.

Cheers.

For the longest time, I heard that from Citrix but the product does not
import drivers.   A quite way to do this is to connect to the server
\\server name and highlight the printers and right-click, select Connect
and connect all of them in one shot.  Once that is done,  delete them.
Another way is to use the Print Migrator tool from Microsoft.

So I would need to load the drivers on all the presentation servers for the
import to work?
I was on with Citrix support and they told me the drivers would come
over.(that was good info)

Thanks
Brian

The import does NOT ever import print drivers.  Never has, never will.  If
your using PS4, use the session printers instead.

Hello


I am trying to import a new R2 2003 print server into my Citrix farm that
is running 2003 sp1 not R2 with the latest Citrix roll up.


The print server seems to import without any issues but none of the drivers
appear to come over.





Older print servers seam to work correctly.





Has anyone run into this issue?





Thank you
