Archived from groups: alt>os>citrix (more info?)
I have a PS 4.5 farm set up and printing finally works fine. My problem
is with remote users. All remote users connect using a full ICA client.
I have 2 types of remote users.

One contains the computers & printers we have set up in various
hospitals in the area (we are a Hospice in upstate NY).

The other is several users who have been approved to access the internal
network from home.

The problem is that the home users are getting their local printers auto
created. This is a potential HIPAA issue since it means they could print
out sensitive patient information on their home printers and thus be
accessible by folks who should not see it.

Is there a way to exclude these folks from getting their local printers
auto created? I can't do it by user name since they also access from
within the network. I might be able to do it by machine name.

TIA,
Hank Arnold (MVP - DS)

last but not least
....

....
you shoud not use the full CTX-Client
and specialy not for external users...
Citrix reduces the maintenance for the full Client. at the moment some
Feature not aviable within the Full PN.
I have moved near 100 percent of my installations (not a small number) to WI
/ CSG or PNA.
