| For one reason or another, you might need to manually connect a client printer during a Citrix Session. This is accomplished through the ICA Client Printer Configuration utility. The ICA Client Printer Configuration utility is a tool that allows users to control the creation, deletion, connection and disconnection of ICA client printers in a session. The utility is used by client machines that do not have a native Windows Print Manager, such as the ICA DOS client. The ICA Client Printer Configuration utility must be run from inside an ICA session. If you are not delivering a full client desktop, I highly recommend publishing the ICA Client Printer Configuration utility, in case a user needs it. Creating a new client printer 1. To create a new printer with the utility, select the Printer New option from the menu, or press the Insert key. 2. This brings up the Add ICA Client Printer Wizard, which uses dialog boxes to prompt the user for a printer type (driver name), the client port to which the printer is connected and a name to use for the printer. These dialog boxes are similar to the ones used when adding a printer on a Windows 95 or Windows NT workstation. 3. Once all of this information is obtained, the utility will send a request for information on the printer properties and any information necessary for creating the printer. On a DOS machine, this information is written to the printer.ini file, so when this client connects again, the printer is created in the ICA session. 
MetaFrame Secure Access Manager is the focal point to any MetaFrame installation and in return it becomes the most important. A good friend of mine taught me that perception is reality and MetaFrame Secure Access Manager is the first impression the users will have of their new Citrix MetaFrame environment. Keeping to this philosophy a custom branded MetaFrame Secure Access Manager site accomplishes all of this while giving you simplified installation, configuration, and management. Not to mention it looks very professional.
