[THIN] Printing - Citrix Universal VS HP Universal

Hi

I am looking at completely redesigning our Printing structure within our Presentation Server 4 farm. We have installed around 30 HP Print Drivers on each Citrix Server which is very unreliable. Can anyone assist with the following:

1) I have lots of Printer Drivers in the CMC which we used as a template to replicate to all servers. Whats the best way to remove all Printer drivers out of the CMC?

2) We have our Citrix server and MS Print Server in the same office. All users are in branches around the country. I want to use Direct Mode with MS Printer Drivers to minimise WAN traversal. Our MS Print Server however uses HP Drivers. When a user launches an application, Citrix will use a Native Driver if it exists then fails back to Universal Driver. Does the driver download from the MS Print Server if its not located on the Citrix Server? I don't want HP drivers to be installed on the Citrix Servers. Is this possible?

3) Can I use MS Printer Driver mapping even if HP Drivers are installed on Citrix Server?

3) If I have issues with MS Drivers and Printer Mapping, I was looking at installing the HP Universal Driver. Has anyone had any issues with it? We use standard printers such as LaserJet 4000, 4200, 4300, 4350 etc but do need double sided Printing capability

I hate Printing in Citrix. Hoping someone can help as our existing setup is not reliable - Spooler crashes and slow Printing issues when the Citrix universal driver is used...

Thanks
Angela
