Good man :)

And it looks like I was partially right. It's a new cpsvc.exe.

Thanks for that.

Cheers.

Citrix have released a "Limited release" hotfix for 2k and 2k3
Take a look at section 5 pasted below.

" LIMITED RELEASE - Hotfix PSE400R01W2K3020" PSE400R01W2K020

Issue(s) Resolved in this Hotfix
Caution! Several items in this hotfix may require you to edit the registry.
Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may
require you to reinstall your operating system. Citrix cannot guarantee
that
problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved
.
Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

  1.. Autocreated printers cannot be shared. This occurs because to share a
printer, the Server service must access the printer. The Server service
runs
under the local SYSTEM account, which is not added to the printer's access
control list.
  With this fix, the local SYSTEM account is added to the printer's access
control list so that autocreated printers can be shared.

  [From PSE400R01W2K3009][#123268]


  2.. Printer properties cannot be saved for printers using the legacy
naming convention.
  [From PSE400R01W2K3009][#127066]]


  3.. When using a legacy client (Version 8.x or earlier) to connect to a
server running Presentation Server 4.0 or later, printers may be created
with the default printer properties. An event ID 1103 is logged instead.
  [From PSE400R01W2K3009][#128341]


  4.. Autocreated client printers may not be deleted at logoff and leave
print jobs pending on the server's print spooler.
  [From PSE400R01W2K3020][#128719]


  5.. Printers may go offline at random.
  [From PSE400R01W2K3020][#132009, 135596]


  6.. The memory used by cpsvc.exe as users log on and send print jobs
through the client network is not reduced as sessions log off.
  [From PSE400R01W2K3020][#129550]
