What about local USB printers?
What about users home network printers, maybe they have a print server at home?

Hi Jim,
If LPT ports are turned off, client printers are disabled regardless.
As Joe says, you can set IP based policies to handle who gets client printers
and who doesn't and it'll work ok.

Rick

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,
