ICA clients (or web browser clients) can autocreate client printers. It's seem to work fine.
But I've got many users (2 thousends) and a I cannot create an userid for each one.
So I've defined only one userid, and all users log in whith this userid.
The mortal effect is that one client get all printers (the printers of all clients that are connected).
Why that? Citrix named the printer with "client name"/"printer name". So, why differents clients get printers of other clients?).
Any suggests is very, very apprecieted.
Danny.
 
I'd guess that the first user to log on maps all of the printers, and then MetaFrame kindly allows that same user to log on anywhere else and maintain the same list of printers - this looks like a feature, as opposed to a bug.

I know very few companies who give all their users the same id to log on with - some of the bigger (unmentionable ;-)) companies I've visited have 20,000+ users worldwide - and each has a Citrix account, an exchange account, and an account for various localised and global database systems.

Maybe your company should consider this approach?

Good Luck!
