We have found, PowerBuilder applications in particular, even when set to use
the UPD, we need the exact matching driver from the client, on the citrix
server, or it will not work correctly. A lot of good the UPD does us, we still
have to have the drivers installed on the servers.

The CTX111947 references HP LaserJet Beta site which states:
Alert: Effective December 31, 2006, HP support for NT 4.0, Windows 98/ME and
Windows 2000/XP monolithic drivers will end!
* Support for HP's monolithic printer drivers will end;
* Development or enhancements of HP's monolithic drivers will end;
* Defect resolution for HP's monolithic drivers will end.
Effective June 30, 2007, all Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 98/ME printer drivers
will be removed from hp.com:
* HP's licensing agreements with third party providers for use of their
components will expire;
* HP's Unidrive-based Premium drivers are the recommended drivers for all HP
printers from this date forward.
I have two comments:
1. That one really snuck up on me!
2. I don't know what ramifications it has in SBC.
Then, if you wander around, you find a bewildering array of things to download
that I don't understand. There are things like Scrubber Utilities and Honda
Release fixes.
I'm confused.

Are you using the Native Driver for the 4650N? Take a look at CTX111947 and see
if that describes the issue you are seeing.

The user has HP LaserJet 4650N printers, not 4250. I got that information
updated. Are there known issues with the N printers? Again we force all
printers on the PS4 farm to go use the Citrix Universal Driver so I cant seem
to figure out why nothing is printing.
Very frustrating since This user is virtually clueless to everything and I have
no actual access to the PC itself.

For the mappings to work, the names must match perfectly. Does she
use the HP or the MS driver? PCL 5 or 6, etc.
You need to double check the printer name on her end (the name the driver uses).

The HP 4000 series drivers can cause issues, especially the 4200 and
4250 drivers (the advanced feature set - duplexing, etc.). Knocking
the local driver back to the Microsoft HP 4000 Series driver usually
fixes the problems, but reduces the feature set available to the user
as a result.
Are you seeing if her session tears down when she closes? Or does she
disconnect and it just goes into disconnect and never closes?
Does she have a habit of starting print jobs in a rush and
disconnecting her session before it has spooled to the client?
Since you don't believe it is the server, what is the client environment like?
