[THIN] Re: PCL5e or PCL6 printer drivers

Can I install all PCL5e drivers on Citrix and map client non-PCL5e print
drivers (i.e. PCL6, etc) to the appropriate Citrix PCL5e driver or do I
need to update the client workstations and file/print servers to match?
The network will have half internal users (LAN/WAN) and half remote
users (contractors, third party), about 200 total.
Thanks,

I'll second that. We had more problems with PCL6 drivers. PCL5e drivers
are
much
more stable.

I can tell you that we have been experiencing some major issues with
the PCL6 drivers. Both on our MF servers (Windows 2000 with SP3) and
on our F&P Clusters (Windows Server 2003).
I would stay away from PCL6 drivers. Either stick with PCL5e, or
PostScript drivers.
Chris

I'm in the process of setting up a new Citrix XP PS FR3 farm
running
on W2K3 servers. I've been using PCL6 drivers on my Citrix XP FR2
server successfully with all apps including a financial app which
recommends PCL5e drivers. However, during peak usage times I've
observed frequent high cpu utilization from the spool.exe process.
Since I have the opportunity to do everything from scratch, I'm
investigating all options. From stability and performance
perspective, are there any arguments for standardizing on PCL5e
drivers when available and requiring users to match the driver? How
well does the new Citrix universal printer driver work? Has anyone
come across any best practice documentation for managing printer
drivers on the latest version of Citrix on W2K3?
Thanks,
