Yes, this is something that you would have to configure on the PIX and would
affect all users, not just him. To do something specific to him you'd need
a Cisco VPN Concentrator (big $$) to handle individual VPN policies.

Besides, its forbidden by the organization's policy.

The better solution might be to consider moving the local printer so that it
is in the same subnet as the workstation so that it never hits the gateway
router to address it -- or to continue to use Citrix. in the end, it may
just be cheaper to get him a cheap printer he can keep locally attached.
(Just remember that the cheap printers are not generally supported by
Citrix, even with the UPD/UPDII -- its a Catch/22)
