Re: Printing preferences on network printer

Hi,

Thanks again to your reply. As a general practice, we always use the driver
that comes with microsoft. Though the driver works because we can print
documents, it also has the same issue of not setting the printer default
properties of the client as define by server 2008.

Cheers,
Emmanuel

Do you experience the same issue when using one of the Ricoh drivers
included with the server OS.

Hi Alan,

Thanks for your reply. We are using the PCL6 driver of Ricoh Aficio
MPC3000
printer. We are now using both the current drivers for X86/X64 available
on
the internet.

Cheers,
Emmanuel

What print driver are you using? I'm not experiencing this issue. I'm

Hi Alan,

I've done that as well before and it didn't solve the problem. In fact
I
recreate again another instance of the printer and set the default
properties
from server 2008 and deployed that printer from the print management.
That
doesn't solve the case either.

Cheers,
Emmanuel

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?

"Alan Morris [MSFT]" wrote:

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
