Evaluating PowerFuse. In Citrix presentation server there is a pretty straight forward way to let a fat client's default printer (in Windows XP) override the default printer from the user's profile so that any locally set default printer will always be the default. Can this be easily done with PowerFuse? Any pointer to particular part of Workspace manager/concept is appreciated.

Hi there,
PowerFuse does not do anything for client printer devices except display them in the PowerPrint utility along side any local printers you might have access to.

The only printer management you will find in PowerFuse is network printer management, i.e. you can map a given network print-queue to a given location (powerzone or client name mask), person (user, group, ou, security role) and/or workspace container (list of unique computers, optionally paired with all of the above)

Hope this helps,
Max R.

If you don't set any printer as the default printer in RES PowerFuse it will leave the setting made by the client or Citrix intact. The downside is that if the user doesn't get a default printer on the client or the Citrix server he/she will end up without a default printer.
