That's good to know. I have a Terminal Server farm for a particular application as well as a Citrix XenApp farm. I got the thin clients to print using GPP and restricting it to the name of the clients. For XenApp I have not tried it but Session Printing should work. I was wondering the same thing about the 64-bit Citrix servers: as I"m pointing to a network shared printer, do the 32-bit drivers come from the Print Server or do they need to be installed on the Citrix Servers (in which case I suppose I need to install the print services role to allow me to install 32-bit drivers?)
My thin clients are XP embedded, so the GPO setting below wouldn't work.

James the issue you are seeing is probably related to Point and print Restrictions. Basically the print driver isn’t installed on the server and so it would normally provide an elevation prompt. But you can’t see that during logon. You can change it in gpo for the terminal server by setting it to not prompt.
Admin templates -> printers – Point and print restrictions. Enable it and set:-

Subject: Re: Printing with thin clients
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.

For those of you using thin clients, how do you address printing? We use Wyse thin clients for our training rooms. We now have a need to provide printing to local printers/copiers. Usually I give users access via GPO preferences. How does one do this for thin clients having limited disk space anyway?
