oooo SAP on Citrix ... my favourite :¬) 

There are a couple of things you have to check to get this working. 

1. Are you using G method Front End printing (Front End Printing with Control 
Technology)? Ask your SAP Basis team.
If using F (SAPLpd) method it wont work with the latest UPD due to the spaces 
in the printer name.If you do then will will have to revert back to the old 
style UPD via Citrix policy.

2. Have you enabled the registry key for SAP printing using EMF ? 
I set this via a preference adm file only for our users who use the latest UPD
To force the SAP GUI to send the data as EMF data, please add the following 
registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SAP\SAPlpd\SAPLPD

Type: String

Name: SwinDataType

Value: EMF

All works well apart from one of our systems that doesnt have the required SAP 
patches for G method printing.

As a matter of interest, what viewer are you using to view invoices ? Ixos ?

  Side note.

   

  I meant SAP 6.40 patch 23.

   

  Also, UPD printing, from SAP, found that the print job sends to the queue on 
the Citrix server, but that never gets sent to the queue on the print server.

   

  I have confirmed, using the "HP Universal Printing PCL 6" driver, SAP 
printing works.  Is this or these (HP Universal drivers) a safe option in the 
Citrix environment?
