Re: Default Printer issue with Roaming Profile

Well that depends on how you are connecting the printers. What process are you using to connect with \\STATION1\HPLaserjet do they have to map it on every login? Are you using a script? With a roaming profile the last printer installed will automatically be the default (a bug in the OS?) Remove the HP the reinstall it and it should remain as default.

I have a user with a roaming profile that is using 3 computers in an area - Station 1, 2, and 3. Since the area is far from the main multifunction network printer we installed an HP Laserjet on Station1 and set Station 2 and 3 to print to \\STATION1\HPLaserjet (HP Laserjet on Station1).

For backup incase the laserjet jams up or toner is out or whatever, we also added the network main multifunction printer - KonicaCopier. This printer uses TCP/IP printing - RAW on Port 9100.

Now when this user goes from computer to computer, they cannot seem to keep their default printer to be the HPLaserjet on Station1. I believe it is because on Station1 the printer is local, but on the other stations, it is remote and when the user goes back and forth, the only same name printer is the KonicaCopier.

Is there a way to configure the printer or profile so it always uses the printer on Station1.
