Very small portion of clients are directly attached via USB, all others
work of a network print server on the local network. I should be in a
good situation to offload the printing to the client and still save a
ton of bandwidth.
Is the client side print process via UPD different then importing print
servers and assigning users via policy to their printers? I looked at
importing print servers and doing all that with policies, but it was way
too much overhead for the admin side because in an office of 60 people
I've got 15 network printers. The users are not savvy enough to be
relied upon to select their appropriate printers, or always want to use
the 1 printer we expect them to use.

That is standard behavior and there is nothing inherently that can be
done to change it. This is the reason for third party print solutions
that move the spooling process to the client. So, if this is a real
problem in your environment you can investigate using client side
printers with a redirect print process such as the new UPD from Citrix
or Simplify Printing from Tricerat. However, the if the clients do not
locally host the target printers then you will be stuck with this
situation!

Subject: [THIN] PDF's spooling up much larger then actual file
I'm seeing various PDF's send to printers spooling up to MUCH larger
then the actual PDF size. A 100k PDF might spool up to a few megs. This
happens on local computers, not just Citrix, but it's become very
obvious with users on Citrix.
What do I need to do with printer drives to stop this?
