Post subject: Universal printing questions

WS2003 SP2 R2 Terminal Server; Win XP SP2 clients. Redirected printers are causing spooler crashes; we need to set up a universal "driverless" printing solution. Lots of choices out there and I'd like to narrow the field.

1. Do any of the universal printing solutions work without a client? We have lots of machines that are in remote locations, all locked down so the user can't install software. Installing client software on these is not possible. If so, I'm guessing they drop a PDF file somewhere on your local disk that you have to print in Adobe Reader...am I close?

2. Do any universal TS print drivers allow users to select THEIR printer in applications run in a TS session, or do they all (client or no client) require the user to select the universal driver, then make the final selection from their local Windows session at print time?

3. For our machines that are on the domain, can most of the universal print clients be installed by Group Policy?

TIA!
