SYMPTOMS
========

Auto-creation of client printers is a feature of the Citrix Metaframe Add-On for
Windows Terminal Server. When you use the auto-created printers feature, and try
to connect with the Citrix ICA Windows Clients, you find your local printers
mapped to your sessions and ready for use when you connect.

You may notice when connected through the Citrix ICA Windows Client, that other
users' printers' appear in the Printers folder in addition to your own printers.
When you try to access one of these printers, you may receive the following
error message:

  You do not have access to this printer. Only the security tab will be
  displayed.
