Drivers that are not 100% multiuser aware can have bad influence in many different ways. Often those buggy drivers can slow down the login process or cause high CPU consumption. In worst cases printer drivers can even stop the login process for the whole server, kill the spooler service or can cause a blue screen of death (very rare with Windows 2003 and up). For the first two issues the Citrix health monitor can help tracking the problem.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.thomaskoetzing.de/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=243&Itemid=274">Basically what StressPrinters does is the creation and deletion of printers with the specified printer drivers set in the GUI of StressPrinters. Also, this is done within a very short timeframe to simulate peak logon- and logoff times.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/962BE4D0-8A20-413D-8ADD-B125F8A85022/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
