Re: Cannot set default printer

There is absolutely no reason to elevate user rights to power user or
administrator. Elevating user rights can actually make the problem worse, as
they'll see every session printer, instead of just their own session printers.

If this works via Remote Desktop Client, but not via Citrix ICA Client, then
it's a Citrix issue, not rights issue.

Does this same problem exist with the Microsoft Remote Desktop Client?

Citrix HotFixes are all current.

Just as a diagnostic tool, I have created a completely new user. Added to
both the domain and local "Remote Desktop" groups. Local Users and Power
Users, and I have tested using the local and domain Administrators, and the
Domain Admins groups.

While it is manifesting itself in the Default Printer setting, I don't think
this is, strictly speaking, a printing issue. It seems to me to be more of
a User Rights issue. I just have no idea where else to look for the
solution.

There are many printing hotfixes for Citrix PS4 printing. Have you
applied
any Citrix Hotfix Rollups to Presentation Server 4.0?

Adding users to the administrators group is not the answer.

Brand new, clean installation of Server 2003, TS, Citrix.

Only 2 users that I can identify can set a default printer. Both are
members of the Administrators group, but I have tried adding other
accounts
to the local Administrators group and still can't set a default printer.
(I
actually considered walking around to every user, adding them to the
administrators group while they set a default printer, them move them
back
out.)

Users can actually add printers shared on other servers but do not have
"sufficient privelidges on this computer" to actually "connect" to them.

Because of other problems, I've had to put the system in production. I
need
to get this fixed yesterday (Monday 10/30 would be better.)
