New Fixes in This Release

1. Configuring the printer policies might take up to eight minutes per policy change. As a result, the console might become unresponsive while changing the printer policy.

   To enable this fix:

   1. Install the Group Policy Management Console hotfix (GPMx150WX86003; GPMx150WX64003, or their replacements) that contains Fix #257255.
   2. Migrate the old printer policies to the new printer assignment policy using a PowerShell script, available for download in Knowledge Center article CTX132168. However, some of the new printer policies might not require any action.

   [From GPMx150WX64003][#257255]

2. In large farm environments, the Group Policy Modeling wizard can take an unexpectedly long time enumerating domain controllers and eventually become unresponsive.

   [From GPMx150WX64003][#259144]

Fixes from Replaced Hotfixes

1. Existing policy priority settings are not retained after editing and saving a policy.

   [From GPMx150WX64001][#LA0585]

2. This enhancement is a component of the Citrix Universal Print Server, a feature that extends universal printing support to network printing. For more information, including system requirements, see Citrix Universal Print Server in Citrix Documentation.
