I find that using Citrix to manage the printing has been a damn sight better than using GPP. For some reason, particularly with 64-bit drivers, I find the logon screens hanging when logging on and applying group policy printer preferences. The event logs show lots of spurious "access denied" errors. Citrix seems to work pretty well using their builtin policies, and their universal drivers if absolutely necessary.
Unfortunately we don't have any locally-attached printers, but we use Excalibur for managing our thin client devices, which as I remember has some policies available for mapping local printers (using ThinPrint, I think). This may be able to achieve what you require. On 7 April 2010 14:54, Tom Miller <[email protected]> wrote: > For those of you using thin clients, how do you address printing?
