Since the application does screen prints, you might want to double
check when and if the default printer is being set.

I ran into a historic issue with historic TS profiles and migrating
from PS3 to PS4 in regards to an application handling default
printers.  It turned out to be a combination of two issues.
1) how PS4 policies handled setting the default printer at first (this
has been hotfixed)
2) how old default printer data in the TS profile was being read by
the app, but there was not a matching printer name that was being
presented.

I ended up writing a script to clean the user's registry settings for
the default printer in the profile.

This had to do with PS4 handling the default printer differently.  It
seemed to work fine for autocreation, but not for our network printers
presented through policies.

I have just built a new ps4 farm.  Because of an application we host,
Facets, I need to use the Universal print driver to map to printers because
this application only supports screen prints. With our XPa fr3 farm, it
works fine, however it will not work with the PS4 farm.  The application
cannot recognize the default printer.  Any idea's why?  I thought printing
was supposed to be improved?
