Doug Brown created a tool for mapping printer drivers in Citrix.  He has also 
compiled a pretty good list of compatible drivers to go with it. That list will 
help with determining substitutions.

Subject: [windows2000] Printing from TS and Windows 2003 Server


I recently asked on this list about the maximum number of printer drivers my 
terminal server could handle, before becoming unstable.  The answer I was 
given, as a general rule of thumb, was roughly "2 pages".  At this point I have 
about a page.

Well, it appears to me as though I am getting more and more requests for new 
printers.  This leads me to ask 2 questions:

1) How do I determine what printer drivers I can substitute for another? (I 
believe that I can put them into something like a NTPRINT.??? file, but am not 
sure of this.)

2) Does Windows 2003 server with Terminal Services handle this any better?

What's keeping you from getting more from your terminal servers? Did you know, 
in most cases, CPU Utilization IS NOT the single biggest constraint to scaling 
up?! Get this free white paper to understand the real constraints & how to 
overcome them. SAVE MONEY by scaling-up rather than buying more servers.
