Thought of that, so we reset them for one user, still no luck.  That still
wouldn't explain why User 1 can't print from her machine but can print from
User 2's machine though.

Ok, yeah, it's definitely something on the client PC.  Here's what we
found:

User 1 cannot print from PC 1
User 2 cannot print from PC 1

Both User 1 and 2 can print from PC 2.

Both users/pcs are printing to the same network printer.  It's a HP 4250
networked from a file server.  Both users have the same sort of
permissions/setup in AD.  With all 4 sessions (both users on both PCs),
the
printer auto-creates just fine, and as far as the Citrix server is
concerned, the job prints fine (shows up in the system event log as a
successful print job), but on PC1, the jobs never show up on the local
queue, and never print.

Ok, so normally I'd say ok, it's a client PC thing, have someone fix it.
Problem is, there are at least 5 PCs that this is happening on.  It's not
location specific, since some users at the location can print and others
can't.

Any ideas?  Client has been removed/reinstalled, I've tried 9.23 and 10.
Tried unisntalling, deleting directories relating to ICA Client and
Citrix,
rebooting, reinstalling.  Nothing.

Any ideas?
