How to hide local printers just needed for drivers?

[isterios]

Hello,

On Citrix servers, we have to install printers drivers used by users. Hence I installed drivers (on LPT1). Users can from there install their network printers.

For information, I published "printers" from control panel so users choose by themselves their printers. Easier for administration.

The problem is that users, when they log in onto Citrix, see these lpt1 printers. But I don't want them to see these LPT1 printers. The only way I found is to delete the users ' permissions on tese printers.

But will they be able to use drivers after this deletion?

thks

The Metaframe server only needs to know what the driver is, it doesn't actually need the printer installed. See knowledgebase article CTX681954 on the Citrix website for details on the proper procedure.

Yes I spoke about the drivers which are not installed originally on the Citrix server.

All you have to do is add new drivers to the server.

In Printers choose File then server properties.

Then there is a drivers tab where you can add new drivers without creating any printers.

Thank ap, I did not know this tab.

It will be cleaner.
