Citrix 4.5 Citrix universal printer - no preview

Posted by citrix on July 1, 2009
Andreas Grüninger Server OS is Windows 2003 x64 SP2 (german) with XenApp 4.5 HRP03 (german).
We activated the Citrix Universal Printer with the following TWI flags: 0×00014020.
The Citrix Universal Printer is created and works as designed with the following exeption.

One of the applications produces print files with proprietary printer drivers and stores the print files in the user temp.
With redpr -P”Name_of_print_queue” Name_of_print_file the files are copied to the print queue of the Citrix Universal Printer. In this case the local EMF viewer is not used and print job goes straight ahead to local standard printer. redpr.exe is part of redmon.zip and does the same as a “copy /b Name_of_print_file Name_of_print_queue”.
This scenario is in use since 5 years without any problem but does not work with the Citrix Universal Printer.

Is there any chance to use the “Citrix Universal Printer” in this case? Source code of redmon.c is available in redmon.zip.

Thanks in advance

Andreas
