Citrix Client Printing

[GUSA]

Using W2k and Fr2 Citrix. Client Printers are created but are unable to print from Excel, Word or Notepad unless logged in as administrator. Citrix user accounts have rights to spool folders and printers. Users can print to network printers without any problems.

Wow I get to reply to my own post. By deleting user folders from the citrix server and then logging a user back on, local printing is now working. This is a solution but I would still like some input as to possible causes and a viable solution.

Have you tried the regsetting for going back to ica autocreated printing instead of MS SMB printing? (CTX102308)


In FR2 and FR3 Citrix has changed autocreated networkprinting from ica to SMB. In CTX102308 item 20 is described how you can switch back from SMB to ICA (FR1 functionality). Perhaps this does the trick in your situation.
(hotfix is only needed in FR2; in FR3 setting the regkey manually is enough)

Create the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control \Citrix\ClientPrinterAutoCreate

Add the following value:

Value Name: fCreateNetworkPrinter
Value Type: DWORD
Value: 1 (to have network printers created as client printers)
Value: 0 (to retain the Feature Release 2/3 behavior)

Reboot the system for the value you entered to take effect.
