Sorry, Joe and list. I forgot to mention how I was applying the policy.
The particular policy that I mentioned is applied to Access Control ->
Filter based on Access Control -> Apply to connections made through
MetaFrame Secure Access Manager (version 4.0 or later).
Joe, I want to allow users coming in through our CAG to have the ability
to print to Network Printers but NOT local client printers. e.g. we
don't want someone who is connecting from home to print an insurance
policy or customer information on their home printers, but there is no
reason why, from home, they cannot print to one of our office printers.
I hope this helps.
Thank you,

How are you applying this policy?
In this case, I would setup a minimum of two policies... One
for internal and one for external and apply those policies based on IP
subnet ranges or if you're using smart access use that as your filter.

Being an Insurance company, we have a policy that does not allow
printing to local printers as the information may be confidential. We
have been able to implement this with a policy in our CMC. We only
block this when users are coming through the CAG, no need to block this
behavior when people are connected to the network.
Our intent was never to block users from printing to network
printers. We have just learned that in fact, we are. Apparently, the
policy that we created is blocking all printing - local and network.
Question: Is there a way to block the creation and/or mapping
of local printers (someone's printer at home or remote office) but allow
users to print to network printers (printers on our network and
published in AD) and/or add them to their Citrix profile as needed?
Current policy details:
* Client Devices -> Resources -> Ports -> turn off LPT
ports -- Enabled
* Printing -> Client Printers -> Auto Creation -- Enabled
and set to Do not auto-create client printers
* Printing -> Client Printers -> Turn off client printer
mapping -- Enabled
I appreciate any help that you have to offer.
Thank you,
