Citrix Printing Universal Driver/Printer not creating

Zone: Citrix
Tags: Citrix, printing, universal, print
I have gone through all documentation I can find and I am not having any such luck getting the Universal Printer to show up when a client tries to print from a Citrix application.  I am new to Citrix administration so forgive me if I have made an easy mistake.

We have Presentation Server 4.0 running on 32bit Windows 2003 w all Hotfixes installed and w all Windows updates installed

Here is what I have done so far,
I have followed the instructions at http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX106812
I have created a policy and set the following settings based on a couple of posts here on EE
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Software/System_Utilities/Remote_Access/Citrix/Q_22734274.html?sfQueryTermInfo=1+print

Printing Policy
Printing
"      Client Printers
"      Auto Creation - Enabled - Do Not Auto-Create Printers
"      Legacy Client Printers  Enabled  Create dynamic session-private client printers
"      Printer Properties Retention  Disabled
"      Print Job Routing  Enabled  Always connect indirectly as a client printer
"      Turn Off Client Printer Mapping  Disabled
Drivers
"      Native Printer Driver Auto-install  Enabled  Do Not Auto Install Drivers
"      Universal Driver  Enabled  Use universal driver only
Session Printers  Enabled (I have nothing listed in Network Printers to connect at logon)  Set default printer to the clients main printer.

Under the Management Console  Printer Management
Drivers
"      I have the Citrix Universal Printer - Windows 2003 Platform  listed
Printers
"      I have nothing listed here.  Not sure if I should have or not.


I have also tried the following suggestion to no avail&..
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Software/System_Utilities/Remote_Access/Citrix/Q_23218739.html?sfQueryTermInfo=1+citrix+default+print

You may have a policy issue as well; often upstream AD policy will overwrite local security policy that Citrix sets.  You can help this by creating a Terminal Servers OU, placing your Citrix/TS boxes in, enable Block Inheritance in the properties of the policy, create a new user policy and enable Loopback Processing with Replace.  Reboot and see if your local security policy is consistent between servers.  


I have verified the ctx_smauser is in the Load and unload device drivers properties in Local Security Settings under User Rights Assignment as suggested by http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX106683&searchID=-1

Thanks in advance
