Citrix Presentation Server 4.0 Printing Changes

A new article on Citrix Presentation Server 4.0 printing changes by Stefan Vermeulen on MSTerminalServices.org :

"With Presentation Server 4.0 Citrix released a version with a major overhaul on functionality. The most drastic one - in my eyes - was the new printing engine. In this article I will talk about it, now that it has been around for quite a while.

In older versions Citrix relied on the underlying printing subsystem of the host OS; in this case the Microsoft printing subsystem. This Microsoft printing subsystem is actually the regular OS printing subsystem, dating back to NT 3.51, and has been converted to be used on a multi user server. This has always been a very sensitive system, and those administrators who have been there in the NT4 TSE era know what I’m talking about.

With the release of Citrix Presentation Server 4.0 (CPS4) this changed drastically when Citrix built the printing subsystem from scratch. "
