Drivers are dependant on client only.
Print job is rendered by the Citrix server and the client printer port.
Same driver must be in use at both ends of the 'pipe'.

So NT4 clients = NT4 driver on Ctx Srvr and NT4 client.

So the drivers are dependant on the workstation only and not the Citrix
server or the printer server OS?


If so how do I install 9x drivers on a non-win9x server?  I do use the
WTSUPRN.INF file for name mappings.

If your clients are NT, 9x and 2K, you will need drivers for NT, 9x and
2K.

That's the concept I'm having a hard time understanding.  Do you know
for a fact what I need?  Reason I'm pushing this is because I think my
print drivers are the cause of all my typing latency issues.

My print servers are NT, one on the local LAN of the Citrix server,
others are across the WAN, the Citrix server is 2K, the clients are all
NT, 9x, 2k.

Some drivers that are installed on the server show up as 2000 and (NT or
2000) under Printers-ServerProperties.

Your original post says Win2k on the Citrix server and NT 4 on the
client PC.  I believe, you would need both.

Well what drivers should be installed on the Citrix 2k servers?  Win2k
or NT Drivers.

You said they Auto created when you logged in from a Windows 98 PC, do
you have the NT drivers installed on the server?  We had a few issues
because of a policy we set that would not let people logged on from an
NT computer create their own printers.  This was a permissions issue.
Hope this helps

Environment: 2 Win2k, Citrix XPa FP2 servers with all the printer
drivers installed (did not Import Print Server). A user JOANN, running
Windows NT Sp6a , with ICA client 6.30.150. will not get all or any of
her printers auto-created when she logs in directly to any server.  If
she does get any it's only 2 of them.  The printers are an OKI9200, HP
8000, HP 8100.

=3D3D3D3D3D20

Here's the kicker....If I log onto the workstation with any Admin
account, install the same printers and than connect to any Citrix server
using any other account EXCEPT the user account JOANN, the printers will
auto-create.  If I log onto the workstation with any Admin account and
log in as JOANN, maybe two of them will connect...if I'm lucky.

=3D3D3D3D3D20

So thinking her profile is screwed up, when to another workstation,
Win2k, Win98, winNT and logged onto Citrix as JOANN and the printers
that are installed on that workstation were auto-created fine; therefore
I don't think her profile is corrupt.

=3D3D3D3D3D20

To be on the safe side I remove all the reg entries for the drivers,
removed the ICA client, re-install the NT SP6a, rebooted, reinstalled
the drivers one at a time, but nothing auto-created.  If I do open the
ICA Printer Config , all the printers are disconnted, but I can connect
them, but they don't retain after logging off and back on.

=3D3D3D3D3D20

The only way I got it to work is while connected I installed the printer
using Add Printer and connecting to via the Client Network to JOANN's
PC.

=3D3D3D3D3D20

WHY? WHY? WHY?



=3D3D3D3D3D20

Just to make things worse.  Since installing FP2 some users printers
don't show up as \\CLIENT\<print <file:///\\CLIENT\%3cprint>
server>\printer name. They show up as the normal name like on their
workstation PRINTER NAME.
