[THIN] Re: Citrix printer problem

Admins automatically see everyones printers.  That is one reason amongst many that you should never make your users admins on your servers.

Thanks for your reply Carl. You are right I am refering to the client printers. All the users are part of a security group in the AD and that group is part of the local admin group.

 

The problem appears in every app. I have tried it on outlook, word, excell, Internet explorer.

 

All the servers have different SID's and I have not created any Defaultprnflags. The rollup hotfix that is installed is PSE450W2K3r01. As far as the Ctx_cpsvc recreation tool I have not run it on the server.

 

I hope I have answered all your questions and once again Thanks for all your help.

I assume you are referring to client printers and not network printers.

Are any of the users "Power Users" or Administrators on the local XenApp server?

Does the problem only appear in one app or is it all apps? Is it an issue in Internet Explorer or Notepad?

Do all of the servers have different SIDs?

Have you run the ctx_cpsvc recreation tool? http://support.citrix.com/article/ctx113554

Have you configured any DefaultPrnFlags?

What rollup hotfix is installed?

Good Afternoon Everybody,

 

First of Printers are a pain in Citrix. Some of our users have started seeing this issue and I have no idea why some users and not others. We currently have 3 Presentation servers 4.5 in a Farm. They are used for remote access where I publish application and the web server resides in the DMZ. Recently a couple of my users started to notice that once they go to print they see all the printers from all the users which are hundreds of them.

 

The citrix servers reside in an OU which has a group policy that should only allow them to see their own printers installed locally on their box. So far what I have done is I put in one of the application to one server at a time and see if the problem will occur on each server just to eleminate if it was one of the servers that was missbehaving. Then I deleted the user profile on the citrix server and see if the profile was corrupt and Once that is done it works the first time but then it fails again. I did some searches on the net about this particular problem but havent found anything yet . While I am doing my research I thought I will put it out to you guys to see if anyone has seen this problem before.

 

Thankyou in advance.
