Greg brings up a great point about the client version.  What version of client 
are you using?

I have imported the drivers from my print server and the default ones for my 
test user exists on this server.  If I go into the Presentation Server Console 
the drivers show up for the printer.  So I don't see why it won't map.  I 
didn't put the server into install mode for any of the printer driver installs. 
 Is this required.



The policy is applied to domain users.  Is there anything misconfigured in the 
policy itself?



What is the Citrix Control Panel -or- is that the Presentation Server Console





Thanks

Install the printer drivers on your servers.  Do a change user /install and 
install the drivers of the printers you want.  Then do a change user /execute 
from the command prompt after the installation.  Once the printer is installed 
delete the printer from the printers control panel.  The drivers will then be 
available on the server and should load the printer for the user.  You can then 
use the citrix control panel to migrate the printer drivers to other servers if 
you have a lot of them.

We recently updated from Metaframe XP to a new farm with XenApp 5.0.  I had 
hoped once we got to the new farm my printing issues would subside.
Short term at least, I have more issues instead of less.  My guess is I don't 
have a strong enough understanding of the new system.


I have rolled out Notepad as my first application and I can't seem to get 
anything but the XPS printer to show up.  I have imported my 2 print servers 
successfully.  I logged on the XenApp server as an admin and installed a couple 
of printers and when I log onto NotePad with the admin account the printers do 
show up, but that isn't an option for my user base.

My policy settings are below (No other settings are defined):
Printing
  Client Printers
     Auto-Creation - Enabled
               Auto-Create the client's default printer only
       Legacy client printers - Enabled
               Create dynamic session-private client printers
       Printer properties retention - Enabled
               Retained in user profile only
       Print job routing - Enabled
               Connect directly to network print server if possible
       Turn off client printer mapping - Disabled
  Drivers
       Native printer driver auto-install - Enabled
               Do not automatically install drivers
       Universal driver
               Use universal driver only
  Session printers - Enabled
       No printers defined
       Choose client's default printer: = Set default printer to the client's 
main printer


I have tried to get XPS working
http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX118554
Talks about XPS but this option isn't even available in the registry and I 
tried installing via
http://www.brianmadden.com/blogs/gabeknuth/archive/2008/12/16/xenapp-5-feature-profile-citrix-universal-xps-printer-driver.aspx


I'm stumped?  Any help appreciated.



Thank-You
