I don't know if this is related at all, not knowing your situation, but we had Novell NDPS printers mapped on some workstations here and not others. The Citrix servers didn't have NDPS installed and when the clients with NDPS printers mapped it would crash the spooler service. Changing the printers on the client machine solved the problem. Hope this helps in some way.

I've narrowed down the problem slightly. ( Problem occurs on Win NT TSE SP 6 - Metaframe XPe SP2) When connecting from a few clients, the printer auto-creation process hangs the spooler on the server that is being connected to. This means that the spooler service has to be stopped and started. I've tried changing the driver on the local client (even to LaserJet 4) and the problem still occurs. Tried different users as well as different Citrix Client versions and still have the same problem. Other clients can connect with the same printer and map it successfully and not cause any issues. It seems that whatever it is about a few client's machines (mine is one of them) can break the spooler service on any NT servers. Oddly, connecting to a Win 2000 Terminal Server box has no problems. Anyone seen anything like this? This is getting to be a big issue.
