When Using Windows Terminal Service/MetaFrame

Limitations

The following limitations apply to the Windows Terminal Service environment. These limitations are built in Windows Terminal Service or MetaFrame.

❖Windows Terminal Service

In an environment where Windows Terminal Service is installed, some printer driver functions are unavailable, even if no Windows Terminal Service func- tions are used. Use the install mode to install SmartDeviceMonitor for Client in an environment where Terminal Service is running on a Windows NT Server 4.0 Terminal Server Edition or Windows 2000 Server family computer. The fol- lowing are the two methods of installation using the install mode:

AUse [Add/Remove Programs] in [Control Panel] to install SmartDeviceMonitor for Client.

BEnter the following command in the MS-DOS command prompt:

CHANGE USER /INSTALL

To quit the install mode, enter the following command in the MS-DOS command prompt:

CHANGE USER /EXECUTE

❖ MetaFrame's [Auto-creating client printers]

Using [Auto-creating client printers], you can select a logical printer created by copying the client's local printer data to the MetaFrame server. We strongly recommend testing this function in your network environment before using it for your work.

•

The settings for optional equipment will not be stored in the server after

 

 

the equipment is disconnected. The settings for optional equipment will be

 

 

restored to its defaults each time the client computer logs on to the server.

 

•

When printing a large number of bitmap images or using the server in a

 

 

WAN environment over dial-up lines such as ISDN, printing may not be

 

 

possible or errors may occur, depending on data transfer rates.

 

• When using MetaFrame XP 1.0 or higher versions, we recommend making

 

 

settings in [Client Printer bandwidth] under [Citrix Management Console] accord-

 

 

ing to the environment.

 

• If a print error occurs on the server and the print job or a printer created in

 

 

[Auto-creating client printers] cannot be deleted, we recommend the following:

 

 

11

 

• MetaFrame 1.8 SP3, MetaFrame XP 1.0 SP1/FR1

 

 

Make settings in [Delete unfinished print jobs] in the registry. For details, see the Readme file provided with MetaFrame.

•MetaFrame XP 1.0 FR2

Make settings in [Delete pending print jobs at logout] under [Printer Proper- ties Management] of Citrix Management Console.

❖MetaFrame's [Printer driver replication]

Using [Printer driver replication], you can distribute printer drivers across all servers in a server farm. We strongly recommend testing this function in your network environment before using it for your work.

•If the printer drivers are not properly copied, install them directly onto

each server.
