Two reasons I don't use network printers. 

1) Very small bandwidth to site so using the ICA autocreated printer
compresses the print traffic.

2) Most of the sites don't have a server to install the network printer
on. I know I could do it here at HQ but again the print traffic would
not be compressed. 

3) Lastly a few of our sites only have Internet connection so network
printing is out.

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
9.0.32649.0. I assume this does not have the hotfix?

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.
