After some messing around, I was able to come up with a fix. I had to do
this on each and every server.
What I had to do was to log onto EACH server as admin, open the CMC and at
CMC logon specify the server I was on, expand the Servers portion of the
CMC, right-click on the name of the server I was on and select "Update
Printer and Driver Information". After that the printers I deleted from
the
registry went away. Phew.

I think this is a bug. I've had this problem for over a year now.
According to the Citrix docs, when you reboot the IMA reads what drivers
are in the registry and then synchronizes the datastore with it. The IMA
service is great at adding drivers to the datastore (which is what the CMC
is reading), but not good at removing them. I've talked to Citrix support
and they said they have seen this problem before (but can't reproduce it)
and may eventually provide a tool to manually remove items from the
datastore.

Have you tried going into the Printers applet, File, Server properties then
removed the drivers, then forced a refresh in CMC? Citrix might be looking
at the driver files themselves in and not the registry. Leave the HP LJ II
(this is used by UPD I think)

Yesterday I wanted to remove some printer drivers off my servers so that I
would force client printers to use the UPD, so I went into the registry and
manually removed them from
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windo
ws NT x86\Drivers\Version-3. I then rebooted the servers. Problem is that
they still show up in the CMC under Printer Management\Drivers, even after
doing a refresh.
How do I clear them from Printer Management\Drivers?
