I would try backtracking a little then.  Make sure the user is setup to 
auto-create and default to their client printer.  Then shadow them and open the 
ICA client printer configuration and see what is going on there.
 
Look for their client name in the failed message.  They may be confused about 
something.

Nope. No errors that I can see. That was the first thing I checked. :-) Nothing 
in the log says "OfficeJet". I see some others, tho - a hp deskjet 3320 series, 
and a 5L PCL. But nothing that says "OfficeJet" anything.

do you get an error in the error log about it?  If it is failing you should.  
That will also have the name of what you should use for mapping it.

That's just it - I don't see any mapping on the server itself. If i do a 
START|SETTINGS|PRINTERS, I do see entries for the other clients who are 
connected, and their printers. But I don't see anything at all for this user. 
Doesn't look like it's being created at all.

hmm, fair nuff :) 

presumably the printer is being created on the TS, but is just going to another 
printer? check to see what port the printer is set to use on the TS - it should 
be along the lines of "client\computername\HP OfficeJet blah" (assuming its not 
changed in mfxp)

I suppose the standard thing to check (depending what your users are like!) is 
if theyre actually printing to the correct printer!

I've got the manual that came with the printer in front of me - says "hp 
officejet 5100 series all-in-one" on the front. Copyright 2002. Lists Win98, 
98SE, Win2K, WinME, WinXP as supported OSes. Also Macintosh. 

No idea if it's USB or not. 

My users goes to print (by hitting the default printer icon in any 
application - which should be her local printer), and it gets printed here 
on my LAN, on a network-connected HP LaserJet 4, in some other department. 
The TS does have this HP 4 defined as a system printer, printing via IP. (I 
did it that way, so home users could route a printout to their department 
printer, if need be. So the TS server has a number of printers setup on it, 
all connected via IP).
