If it ain't broke..... MF SP3 does offer greatly enhanced printing
features. I'd try the upgrade on a test server and do a pilot and then
roll after it was tested.
As you can see in XE103W2K016 hotfix CTX102359 even SP3 has printing
problems! Damned if you do...damned if you don't.

It is best to figure out the root of the problem cause there is no
guarantee that SP3 will fix it.

Thanks for the advice, Jim...Although this has been done, I guess it
wouldn't hurt to try it again...perhaps we missed something last time.
And I'll take this as a "just don't upgrade" recommendation... ;-)
Thanks again.

Uninstall all of the client software on the client machine (clean the
registry of citrix entries) and reinstall the client and see if it
helps.
We found older versions of the client will cause this problem. If that
does not resolve it, Get http://thethin.net/pdmanager.zip
<http://thethin.net/pdmanager.zip> and look at ALL the printer drivers
they have installed on the client and delete the ones that they are not
using. Check the spelling of the printer drivers on the client machine
and be certain you have aliased them to a known good driver that works
in citrix in the CMC. The spelling must match exactly!

Subject: [THIN] Upgrade recommendation
For the gurus out there...
For quite a while, I've been running MF XP 1.0, FR1/SP2 on Windows 2000
SP4. I've applied every hotfix I can to these machines, but I get the
same problem repeatedly: 1 user, when connecting, causes our print
spooler to crash. I have it set to restart after 1 minute, but the user
must logoff and the logon again to get their printers to create
properly.
I'm tempted to upgrade to MF XP 1.0 SP3, but I have heard some real
horror stories regarding MF SP3's interaction with 2000 SP4.
What is the recommended upgrade procedure, if I decide to upgrade, ie
what hotfixes are recommended to keep the servers somewhat stable (right
now they appear to be pretty solid, with reboots once weekly -- knock on
wood)?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
