Not really sure what version they're using. The screen says to login to
the Citrix Metaframe XP server, enter your.........
I've googled, read a number of white papers from Citrix, and I know that
you can print from linux, just enter the printer driver name in the ini
file. Unfortunately, I tried the HP LaserJet 4/4M, just plain 4, and
almost every other variation I can think of. I also read about the
Universal Print Driver, but what's it called so I can enter it in the
ini file? My LaserJet is an old 4 that I juiced up with 24 Megs ram and
postscript, so it prints postscript natively under linux.
Like I mentioned, the linux client works fine, it's just a printing
issue based on the server end.
