Symptoms 
The following error message may be received when trying to print from an ICA 
session:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: MetaframeEvents
Event Category: Printer Management 
Event ID: 1107
Date: 5/23/2005
Time: 9:39:44 AM
User: N/A
Computer: xxxxxxx
Description:
Client printer auto-creation failed. The driver could not be installed. 
Possible reasons for the failure: The driver is not in the list of drivers on 
the server. The driver cannot be located. Driver mapping is incorrect. Client 
name: (xxxxxxxx) Printer: (xxxxxxxxxx) Client Printer driver: (xxxxxxxx) Server 
Printer driver: (xxxxxxxxx)
Cause
31. Some printers were not automatically auto-created in an ICA session, and an 
Event ID 1107 entry was added to the event log. This issue tended to occur when 
several users attempted to connect to the same server at the same time and if 
the printer driver was not installed on the server.
With this fix, printer auto-creation should occur without incidents.
[From Hotfix MPSE300W2K3R01][#79268]
Resolution
Apply Hotfix MPSE300W2K3R01 or its operating system platform or Presentation 
Server product equivalent.
Verify the existence of the driver and attempt to manually install the driver. 
Users may have limited rights to install drivers. 
Toggle the MetaFrame serverâs Feature Release setting and observe any 
possible changes.
