Yes, it workes in some cases. One of the issues that it has is some of the servers are setup with a c:\ as the root, and the citrix are setup with M:\ as the root. When Print Migrator creates it's cab file, it is hardcoded with the root drive letter. For the most part the print drivers don't change all that often, the new LPR printer ports and the queues change fairly often. I would think that some kind of scheduled/realtime registry replicator might solve a lot of the issue. It would really help if the developers could fix the printing issue so that all we would need is a single print server instead of the rediculous number of print servers that I have now. (Somewhere in the neighborhood of 600 with some as high as 400 queues on each)
