Re: Mass Deployment of Duplexing drivers for printers

Are the users connecting to a print server?

Change the Printing Defaults on the advanced tab of printer properties.

New connections will get this as the default setting but the users can still
change their own settings. You would need to delete existing connections
and reconnect to pick this as the default.

hey guys, i need a hand on this one. i been asked, by my boss to figure
out
a way to overide users existing printers (or print drivers). we want to
conserve on wasting so much paper. so they decided to have all users
change
their printer settings to use duplexing (for the printers that have
duplexing
capabilities). out users are on windows xp sp2 and log in to a windows
2003
AD domain.

thanks in advance,
