Actually no. Setting and maintaining printers from a client standpoint is a
huge management overhead.   Managing them centrally is quite simple and easy
and there are several different ways to skin that cat while allowing users
to save their default printer.

Man, that can be a HUGE management overhead.  In 1 office of 60 people I
have 14 printers.  Most departments have 2 printers (HP4200 class) to split
the print load.  Sure I can save "give them all printers" and "don't set a
default", but do you know what kind of flack that generates when the users
need to choose their defaults all the time?  Yeesh!

If it's a network printer, why don't you forego auto-created printers all
together?

This is win32 as it is running Windows XP embedded. On the client I'm
running the native printer driver and using the universal on the server.

Thin clients don't use the new UPD driver from what I understand.  Only the
win32 client does.  It's because of space requirements for the UPD driver on
the client side.

I just found that latest Citrix client available for the HP T5710 is

The client is a HP Thin Client so I don't think it is 9.1 but it is above 9.
Thanks for the tip!

ICA Client 9.1? There is a PDF printing hotfix in that version of the
client.

One of our users is complaining that when using the Citrix Universal printer
driver to print PDF files the page comes out with ASCII text.  I tested and
it works fine with the actual print driver but not when using the Citrix
Universal driver. 

 

The printer is a HP 2420DN and it is running on PS4 on Win2K.
