Re: Printing from Citrix Winframe

Wayne,

We are now on Metaframe; however we used Citrix Winframe 1.7 successfully for
over 2.5 years.  We encouraged our users to run their SQRs on the server (except
those few that read a file) and then we had a job that FTP'd all of the .lis
files to the user's directory on the citrix server.  We had our users write to a
file and then use the copy to LPT1 to print their reports and the format was
fine.
