In my case, they are loosing their mapped printers only.
All the printers are installed on their local computer off network print
servers. These are still directly accessible when they loose the mapped
printer in a published Citrix app.
Everyone uses PN Agent, there are no published desktops in my environment.
And before someone mentions it, using the import network print server and
assigning printers via citrix policy is not an option.

Are you positive that it's only happening with mapped client printers?
Are these staff using network printers as well?
Can they access the printers from control panel? If so, do they disappear
from there also?
Are they running a published desktop or a bunch of individually published
applications (so closing and reopening the app would actually create a new
session)?

Citrix have just released a hotfix for all sorts of PS4 printing issues.
Might be worth a try.

Sadly we've trained our users to "deal with it" for now...sucks. We're
currently evaluating Thinprint as while the UPD in 4.0 is a huge leap forward
in the printing subsystem, it's still subpar. Will let you know how that goes.
At face value it seems that Thinprint is a waste of money at this point given
the state/features of the UPD but all of the little issues with the UPD add up
to make for an overall unacceptable experience for our users.

I'm continually having issues with users randomly loosing their mapped
printers inside an application. It can occur in any and every application.
Adobe Reader, Office Apps, some of my business level apps. It occurs even with
client 9.150. I'm on PS4.0 with a few printing related hotfixes. I still have
to roll out R01. I'm using actual printer drivers from HP and Dell, mostly all
PCL, so no UPD.
The fix is always the same. Have the user close down their application and
re-open it. If there are multiple apps running on the server with the app that
has lost the printer, they may need to close those applications as well?
I've got nothing wacky going on with the way I'm running the farm or
printer mappings. It's all pretty standard and almost as basic as it can be,
in my opinion.
Is this just something I need to get over and expect to just always occur,
or is there same way to solve this complete or make it occur far less then it
does?
