Re: Print Server Question with Printing Preferences

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I assume you configured the Printing defaults on the Advanced tab of the
printer properties. The one on the General tab is only for the user on the
server.

this setting must be in the public portion of the device mode for the client
and server setting match. Many of the private device mode sections are
copied to the clients. The settings you are changing should get to the
client as long as this is a new connections. If the client has made changes
to their local preferences, these will over ride anything from the server.

i have just setup our Windows 2003 server as a print server. i have loaded
all of our printers, shared them, and deloyed them using a group policy.
the
goup policy is only for 2 of our computers for testing. the policy
installs
all of these printers onto the computers.

the issue i have is that some of the printers' printing preferences are
coming over to the client computer and some are not. we have setup all of
the printers with specific printing preferences that we wanted on the
clients
but not all printers are exhibiting the settings. for example, we have an
HP
Color Laserjet 5500 set to print gray scale on the print server. the
client
shows that it is defaulted to color even though the server is set to gray
scale. what can i do to make sure all printing preferences are set to the
client?
