That is correct, nothing with PPII is working.  Another thing I just
found, looking at counters in the Meditech Document manager on the
server's console I can watch the counters climb as I try to print....

But you have not yet printed successfully using any printer, using
Citrix and PPII, correct?

The printer is listed as \Client\<pc-name>#\<printer-name>.  I can print
from things like Notepad, etc via Citrix to the local printer.

The PC is defined as WINTERM in Meditech and the devices associated with
it are vga.

I have tried it on a couple PCs and a Neoware thin client with the same
results.  On the PCs if I just run the Meditech Workstation it works
fine, it really looks like an issue with Citrix or Term Services and how
I have the Meditech Workstation installed on the server, but I can't for
the life of me figure it out.

A little more info, with any printer except the HP LaserJet 1200, I can
select the HPLASERIIII instead of PPII and it prints just fine.  Using
PPII and NOT using Citrix, the 1200 works just fine.  Here's the
problem, we have a mess of home transcriptionist that have been given
the 1200 and the powers-to-be want them coming in via VPN and Citrix.

When you enter PPII in the Printer Options, what is listed as the
Default printer?

I should be the Client printer. Do the drivers work on Citrix?

And if so.............

How is the thin client defined in Meditech?
