Yep...this works really well, and Rick has explained it perfectly. You can
download and test it out to see if your users will be happy with it.
Cheers.

Hi,
There's also another very simple and relatively inexpensive work-around
that we've used recently with a really dumb application that wanted the
printer name hardcoded for each and every one of about 600 users with about
400 separate printers.
There's a product called Fineprint that installs as a printer on the
server, and then lets you redirect the print job (and modify the look and
feel etc including custom document templates). So the dumb app prints to a
printer called Fineprint and the user can then specify where the print job
will go. Works brilliantly and ended up costing less than $10 a head.
Maintenance overhead is zero.
regards,
Rick

Hi Chad,
Have you read anything about ThinPrint? There are plenty of white papers
available. It works on top of Citrix environment and Terminal Server
enchancing/optimizing the printing.

Screwdrivers from Tricerat? You can speficy your own printer name format
(plus all the additional benefits of not hassling with drivers, etc).

Subject: [THIN] long printer names change from MPS 3.0 to PS
4.0
I have a set of servers, running an application on MPS 3.0,
that I want to upgrade to PS 4.0, in my new farm.
The application uses a printer which is specified in the INI
for the application, for each user.
IN MPS 3.0 the long printer naming is
client\clientname#\printer, but in PS 4.0, it is client/clientname/printer.
In order to upgrade the servers, I would need to alter
hundreds of roaming profiles, changing each one's INI file to the new
naming....
Any better suggestions?
