In that case. It's been a long time, but the Printer Server Engine with $5k
and the TS .print engine was $1400 for each server.
Lack of x64 drivers has been a major hurdle in moving towards 64-bit (that
and application compatibility). Many organization are sticking with 32-bit
for now. Server 2008 may be a different story as most vendors will have
both x86 and x64 drivers as they will be required to if they want to support
2008.

These are a mishmash of network printers (session based assigned via citrix
policies) so can't use the UPD.

Why not just use the UPD included with Citrix? For most organizations it
works great. Very, very few cases where a third-party solution is required.

We are upgrading a Citrix farm to 64bit and was looking at this as a
possible solution to the print problems we would get with 64bit drivers (or
lack of them).
We are not going to be using thinprint for client printing... just for
network printing.
I've been told we need to buy .print engine for all CTX servers and the
.print client would be installed on the print server.
Does this sound right? Anyone give me a rough idea of cost for this per
Citrix Server (approx 60) or per user?
Thanks,
Ant.
