Also if your on R03, have a look at PSE400R03W2K3059. Ive started testing it
today, as it contains the following fix
Autocreated printers created using the legacy naming style might not be deleted
when a session is terminated. The issue occurs if the Print Spooler and Citrix
Print Manager Service restart while a session is active on the server.
This is possible for us as we use the old style naming convention, and we also
have our spooler/print manager set to restart on crashing, so we never quite
know when they crash. Initial testing has been positive.

Thanks Andy for the reply….I implemented a couple of your suggestions, but can
not set up a reboot schedule at this time, due to international users.

We used to get it a lot on our ps4 environment. What's been happening to us is
a users printers wouldnt uninstall when they logged off, so when they logged
back onto the same server, it wouldnt install a new printer as the old printer
was still there.
We did a few things to make it a bit better, but we still get it now and again
1. change Citrix Print Manager service to run as local system rather than
the citrix sma user (this is very handy as it allows you to delete a printer on
the fly, so long as you have the correct MTA flag set in the registry)
2. switch off RDP printer mapping
3. implement a reboot schedule of the servers fortnightly
Only other thing I do now is have a quick look at the servers in the morning
and delete any printers that havent been unistalled from the day before. Not
ideal, but it works for us at the moment.
We are currently reviewing whether to go R03 with some of the post R03
hotfixes. I'll post back if we ever get it resolved

Subject: [THIN] Printers not autocreating
Our farm is MPS 4.0 and all the servers in the farm are W2K3. We are
experiencing an ongoing, intermittent problem on one of our servers where
printers do not autocreate for our remote users. Has anyone experienced this
problem? We are using the UPD on all servers. It happens to all printer types
(HP, Dell, Brother, etc). Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any
assistance would be appreciated. Thanks,
Cathy
