Re: Printing preferences on network printer

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi Alan,

Thanks for your reply. I've done the procedure you had outlined before many
times and even reboot the PC before creating the connection to the printer.
The result still the same. I've even deploy it through GPO via logon script
and it still the same. Like wise had tried as well to deploy it via GPO
through computer configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Deployed
Printers and the prefered settings from the server still doesn't apply.

I have done this procedure using windows server 2003 as a print server with
XP & vista client and it works but not with windows server 2008 as a print
server. Is there a new special way of setting the print server in windows
server 2008 as compared to windows server 2003. I know this is pretty basic
but I might be doing something wrong on the server side that's why it doesn't
work.

Is there a tool or a logfile to check this problem that we had?

I greatly appreciate for your feedback.

Thanks,
Emmanuel

I was not able to reproduce the issue on a Vista SP1 client.

I'll assume the logged on user is not admin on the machine

On Vista client, create connection, right click printer, open printing
preferences, verify settings, delete connection

on Server change the Printing Defaults (Advanced printer properties) to the
settings you wish the client to have as their Printing Preferences. Close
dialog to save settings.

On Vista client, create connection to previous shared printer, right click
printer, open printing preferences, verify settings


I get the new preferences copied to my user settings.

Do you have any applications open when you delete the connection on the
client?

Hi,

That's right. It works with XP clients but not with vista clients. Can
this
be a bug from windows? Does anyone had confirm this? I had simulated this
situation on my test lab as well and surprisingly get the same result.

Can someone from microsoft please advice?

Thanks,
Emmanuel

If you opened the local UI then the per user devmode was set .

either set your user devmode the way you wish or delete the connection
and
add it back to pickup the default printer devmode.

It still didn't work on my machine, however my machine is Vista,
should
that
make a difference?

Yes common issue

You will need to set Printing Defaults on the Advanced Tab of the
printer
properties.

Print Preferences is a per user setting.

Hello,
we are trying to configure our Ricoh network printers to use
duplexing
by
default. We have configured the printing preferences on the
printer on
the
print server, however we users add the printer to their local
machine,
either
via browsing AD or using \\printerserver those duplex settings are
not
configured.

I'm not sure why this is happening, can anyone help?

cheers

Craig
