Stumbled across a paper from HP "HP printers supported in Citrix XenApp Server environments" Nov 08. Found it in the printing forum on Brian Madden's website. http://h20195.www2.hp.com/V2/GetDocument.aspx?docname=4AA0-8465ENW
So, now I have nice listing of tested HP printers in a citrix/ts environment. Now, if only the other brands would do something like this. Though I think if a printer supports PCL, then it should work, somehow. Thx for the info below, will make it easier. I still think we should buy screwdrivers, if only because of the cool name. But it is little expensive, for us. Gene Giannamore Abide International Inc.

If you want to allow other branded printers, I have had good success by setting the printer driver to a HP LJ 4000 if B+W or HP CLJ 3500 if color. These have worked well for several models of Lexmark, Dell, & Brother printers, YMMV. The 3500 is what citrix used when they developed their universal driver so it seems to do well across the board. I do tell my user base that if they want a printer that is a non HP branded printer, that I make no guarantees as to whether or not I can get it to work. With the exception of the HP Uni driver I will not load any driver not included on the Windows Server O/S CD. Too many previous bad experiences with poorly written drivers causing a BSOD on the server.

RDP only. 10 remote users (max). Windows XP clients only. Verizon mobile wireless. So far all client printers have been HP, and the installed drivers, and fallback drivers have worked. For the future I am looking for printer and printer driver info, especially for the citrix/TS environment. I would love to find a listing of printers that work, and alternative printer drivers. Right now, all I have is the old HP alternative driver listing. I was hoping http://www.printingsupport.com/ would contain this kind of info, but it is down. Looks like eventually, I will need to buy each of the 10, their own all-in-one printer, luggable and preferably with color. So the question is, which one do I buy. And as time goes on, and I can no longer get the all-in-one that I know works so well, I have to get that question answered again, and again. I suggested thinprint or screwdrivers, but the powers balked at the screwdrivers price. I think the price is very reasonable for the solution provided. Gene Giannamore Abide International Inc.

Generally it is best to stick with print drivers from the Windows 2003 CD for Windows Terminal Server /Citrix. With Citrix you can leverage the Universal Print Driver also. Best to install as few drivers as possible and use UPD and print mappings.
