I think you are on to something.
If I go to the Server - RDP-Tcp Properties
Client Settings tab
Disable the following
Greyed out and checked is LPT
port mapping and Windows printer mapping
How would I be able to go enable these two?
Thanks
Paul

let's back up a couple steps.
check the terminal services properties to make sure all connections listed
allow creation of client printers. check for any local or group policies that
may be denying creation of printers.
check by logging in with RDP and see if your printers appear. any problems
should be in the event log. if not, check your print server properties and
make sure you have the appropriate boxes checked.
Once you have the vanilla terminal services working, tear into what Citrix may
or may not be doing via it's policies and settings.

I think that is what the problem is, maybe I have not been explaining well.
I don't think it is mapping any printers, I don't think my policy is even
taking effect.
I set it to map all client printers and to only use the Universal Print Driver
if the regular driver is available and still the only driver that will come up
is XPS unless I add on at session time.

How about removing the Use UPD only and allow it to map the windows drivers.
In essence, make sure that printer mappings are working at all.

There are no events in the event log for printing. I don't get it??? On my
2000 and XP Farm (Which we are slowly retiring) we get plenty of events on
print activity.
If I bring up Notepad and I select print, it has the XPS printer as my default.
It also gives me the option to install a printer (Which I don't want to
provide to my users). If I choose "Add Printer" it will install the printer I
choose and if I log out and log back in, the printer now appears along with the
XPS printer. Neither of these printers are my default printer.
It just doesn't seem like any of the policies are being applied. It all seems
to be reliant upon the user profile and nothing is coming from the settings for
the Universal Print Driver.

Are there any events in the event viewer?
Once the Policies are setup, the UPD works great. You should only need to
install the driver to those printers that don't work well with the UPD.
Install mode is neither needed nor required for installation of printer drivers.

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

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

Talks about XPS but this option isn't even available in the registry and I
tried installing via
