For HP I exclusively use either the PCL 5e or map them to the HP
LaserJet 5Si.
MICR seems to work great using this mapping with the native PCL drivers
from the HP printer driver to the HP LaserJet 5Si. I have never found
out why the PCL driver does not work with check printing MICR lines but
the HP LaserJet 5Si has saved me numerous times. The old technology
reference still works fine for me.

Wow I guess I didn't realize how good I had it... ANd here I was
complaining about 2-3 types of printers that are proving to be real
headaches. Though I have noticed the PCL6 drivers on the HP laserJets
are proving to be a pain in the rear. I try and get the users to
switch over to PS drivers as much as possible. Though when they do for
some reason on our check writer module the MICR line gets moved down one
line and causes problems with the banks.

Lucky dog!! We have multi-functional printers (Xerox) that are a Print
Driver nightmare! One thing I have found out is never install a Xerox
PCL printer driver. Use only PS print drivers with Xerox and make sure
the driver has been cleared by Xerox in Terminal Server / Citrix as a
good printer otherwise(test first-don't believe them), major
headaches/problems....I'm getting sick!!! ::-)

well for us its a great thing because we don't have to worry about
aliasing a few hundred types of printers. Our client base is entirely
remote PC's stationed in hotel back offices or at various management
company offices, It is extremely heterogeneous. Not having to worry
about drivers and getting as close to plug-n-print as we can simplifies
our support life immensely.

Along these same lines, what is the advantage of the universal driver or
better question, enforcing universal for all printers? Obviously not
having to install 100 drivers on your citrix box is the obvious answer
but what if you only have a handful of drivers to worry about? Then you
use universal if someone has say a home printer they need to connect fom
the outside.

FOr the most part I love the new Universal printer, but even with that
I am encountering various printers that do not print. Primarily I am
having trouble with various Lexmark printers and the HP LaserJet 1022.
Currently by citrix policy I enforce universal driver for all printers,
but I am looking at creating an exemption policy for those users that
are having trouble with printing and trying to setup a mapping for those
paticular models that are giving me fits.
ANy ideas on the best way to go about that or what drivers I should use?
I know currently there are issues with the Lexmark X3550, Lexmark T520,
and HP laserJet 1022
Of course I also have issues with various users running Mcaffee and its
printer issues are always fun.
