If the functionality cannot be duplicated by a safe driver, then the
ones we are looking at go into a test environment. It has saved me a
ton of headaches doing it that way. If you don't have a test
environment, backup/image one server in the farm and throw it on there
to test. If something does go horribly wrong, then you can just put the
image back or restore.
If you have some sort of virtualization software (Virtual PC, VMWare,
etc) then throwing up a test box is extremely easy.

Ok, thanks. Just curious, seems to me that if the UPD didn't seem to be
doing the trick with say one particular printer, then the only way for
us as admins to make it happen, would be to install the driver on our
servers, or to create mappings from one driver to another. So how do
you all decide what drivers you will or will not install on your
servers?
And BTW, we have already gone down the 3rd party road w/no luck.
Thanks guys,

Yes you are correct. I'm not aware of any list of printers known to work
with the UPD driver.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if a client connects that has a locally
attached printer, say a Canon PC1200/iC D700, and that driver is already
installed on all of our Citrix Servers, then that printer will
autocreate and be available from within their Citrix session. However,
if that driver is not installed on our servers then that printer should
still be autocreated, but it will use the Citrix Universal Print driver
by default, right? So is there a list of printers or drivers somewhere
that will or will not work using the UPD?
Thanks,
