I'm working on trying to get a citrix app to talk to some laserjet 1000 USB printers. We normally use an app called Screwdrivers to make the USB printers work with Citrix, but I am doing some experimentation with the web client and am trying to come up with a way to get it to work without having to install software on the end user's machine.
I got the rest of the printers (network) to work by virtually mapping the queue to lpt1 on the machine with this command:
net use lpt1: serverprinter /persistent:yes
and it seems to be working ok..
But LJ1000 reads as being connected to USB001 port. Is there a way to virtually map this port so citrix thinks it's sending the job to lpt1?
