Could you map printers at logon based on the station they are logging
on from? Its in env var Clientname on the server...

Thanks Jim. I did think of this. The only thing of it is our security
is based on groups. We have a high school group. All members of the
group move from lab to lab with in the same building. In the past with a
fat client we controlled this by only installing the printer for the lab
on the specific lab workstations. With the thinstation the printing has
shifted from the workstation to the server. I guess my dilemma is the HS
group. I even thought about a script that disables the ip port in the
registry. This still would not work with a large group that migrate from
lab to lab.
Thanks for the help.

You can just set security on the network printers themselves via the
security tab in the printers properties applet on the server. This will
prevent users whom you don't want to access it using it.

HI,
I just started using Citrix and a thin client solution in our labs. I
work for a small school district. I have deployed thinstation in two
labs. So fare it works great. One problem I have is restricting access
to printers. I am using Citrix Presentation 4.5 with Term services on
W2K3. On the one server for both labs I have two printers installed.
This gives the students the ability to choose either printer. This is
not a good idea in a Middle School High School setting. Is there a way
to limit printing on the thinstation to only one ip based printer? The
only options seems to be sharing LPT1 or USB.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
