Citrix Session Printers Registry Key Location

Session printers created via policy

Share/Save/Bookmark


Session printers created via policy in Citrix XenApp are considered local printers. As such they are in the registry key that is common for local printer definitions. That registry key location on Windows 2008 R2 is :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers

Problem with session printers such as additional printers appearing in the user's list of available printers while in a session, most often is a result of driver corruption. Once the corrupt driver has been fixed or removed, you may have printers still showing up in user sessions that do not belong.

One of the things you can check is the key in the registry where the session printers are defined.
For stuck printers, as option to get rid of them is often to delete the user's profile but that's not always the best option so removing the session printers defined for that user can be done through the registry. Be cautious when removing but when there are no users logged into the Cirix Xenapp server, there should be no session printers defined.

Similar to Citrix is RDS using RDP protocol. Similar issues are encountered when using RDP for user access to desktops or Administrator access to servers or desktops. Managing RDP connections can be time consuming and having a centralized RDP connections make administration and management easier. RDS gateway such as this one similarly to Citrix permits multiuser access.

Remote Computer couldn't connect to Citrix Server.

Remote Computer couldn't connect to Citrix Server.

 

A remote computer couldn't connect to Citrix server. There was a Linksys router that was on the LAN that someone decided to use for the switch ports and not for routing. The outer features on the Linksys can't be disabled and the IP address had been changed but for some reason, either manually or by some other trigger, the Linksys defaulted to it's out-of-box  IP address which happens to be the same as our production PIX. Some computers were having trouble connecting to the internet. Others were ok.


One the device removed

 One the device was removed the problem went away. The remote computer is used by a telemarketer from home and was unable to connect to the citrix server through the VPN  tunnel. It happens that the server she was connecting to for the published app was one of the systems having trouble with routing because of the second router being online with the same IP address. I used PC anywhere to connect to her desktop pc system and remote control it to see what she was experiencing and not my online pc remote support software that I usually use.
