Hi

i need some help with the session printers thats been generated by the citrix session.

ok now when a user connects to the citrix servers he brings to the server his own client printers, which on the server is represented as Hp laserjet(by X user) session 4

Now when a second user connects to the same server, the same thing happens

Now when this user brings up his application and tries to print he can see all his printers as well as the session printers created by the other users , i wanted to know how to avoid this so that the users only see their printers and not the other session printers.

thanks

If the users are in the local admins group (or power users, I think), they will be able to see other users mapped printers.

Ram,

What O/S and version of Citrix?

That should be the only setting that could cause this.  Try creating a new local or domain user and test with it.  Make sure not to add it to any groups.  I would go so far as explicitly defining that user on the application.

I do agree James....

Ram do you have a citrix group that might be in the local power users or admin group on the affected server?
