The big reason I see importing print servers and assigning printers, which I
am not yet doing, as beneficial, is that the system will then use the Print
Spooler server, to spool the jobs, rather than pointing back to the client,
and then out to the spooler. Equals faster printing.

Subject: [THIN] Importing network print servers
Hi,
i'm new to Citrix Metaframe, and I've just installed a server W2k +
Metaframe XP. I have three questions about printers:
1) My client sessions get automatically mapped his network printers without
importing the corresponding print server into Management Console, so what's
the purpose of "importing network print servers" into the CMC?
>> there is an ability for Metaframe to create mappings for clients by group
based on the printers it imports. If you have it working another way.
Don't worry about it. The feature is great for creating mappings but does
nothing to set one as default which makes it pretty useless IMO.
2) I've noticed that some client-side local printers automatically install
his driver at the Metaframe server when the client opens a session. Is this
normal? Is desirable (I have no control of what drivers get installed at the
metaframe server)?
>>if the driver is there, it will use it. Sounds desirable to me. You can
set it so the universal driver works for anything that a driver is not
available for.
3) Some properties of the configuration settings of network printers
(duplex, etc...) get lost when the printer is mapped to a session, and the
user need to establish them every time starts a new session. how can be
avoid this loss of "configuration settings"?
>>sometimes advanced printing features and settings get lost if the driver
on the server does not support them or if a driver is being mapped to
something more friendly like running an HP4000 as an LJ 4 Plus.
thanks in advance,
Pedro
