Re: Another printing question

The printers on the Citrix Terminal server need only be setup once by a
person with admin rights. Your job will be easier (and your company will
save money) if you have relatively few, fast workgroup printers as
opposed to an inkjet printer on everyone's desktop. You should have no
need for any printer drivers in the thin client image.
If you want the citrix to not have to be the print spooler, just setup a
dedicated print server (either windows or linux). If you go this route,
you will not have to create a port on the citrix, but each person will
have to connect to the network printer. This can be done in the logon
script with, I think, con2prn or something like that.
