Re: [Thinstation-general] lpr not functioning in 2.2.2c/d?

[Steve G. <sg...@gm...>]

Joey,

I was having a similar problem in that the Citrix universal driver was being used. I got around the problem by enabling lp_server, lpr and lprng in build.conf.buildtime and and adding:

PRINTER_0_NAME="HP Deskjet 880C"
PRINTER_0_DRIVER="HP Deskjey 880C"
PRINTER_0_DEVICE=/dev/usb/lp0
PRINTER_0_TYPE=U

To the thinstation.conf.network file

Remember that the driver name and driver must be exactly as it is seen in Citrix. 

This will then bring up 2 printers in your Citrix session - one of which will be with the universal print driver and one with the correct driver. You can then use a Citrix print policy to get rid of the printer with the universal driver.

We are using some local printers on thinstations with great success using this method - if you need anymore info on configs etc then drop me a mail..

I have zero experience with ICA, so others have to help you out here.
