Mass Deployment of Duplexing drivers for printers
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, |

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. -- Alan Morris Windows Printing Team Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base he http://support.microsoft.com/search/?adv=1 This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Yes, we are using a printer server (on windows 2003 r2).

Setting the printer default settings to duplex is the best way to accomplish
this but the users have a device mode setting locally that will be used first. By default the user devmode is the same as the printer devmode. -- Alan Morris Windows Printing Team Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base he http://support.microsoft.com/search/?adv=1 This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
