Print defaults on server not set on client
Hi all -
I'm a little puzzled by what appears to be a changing behavior of our print servers. Last August we implemented 40 multifunction copier\printer\scanner\fax devices. ~30 of them have color print capability, which is expensive compared to B&W printing. So at the print server, we changed the default driver configuration from Color to B&W (we didn't bar a user from printing in color, just required s/he make a change to the driver at print time). My testing, and experience since August seemed to show that if a user changed their printer preferences to permanently print in color, that the next time they logged on, the print server would re-install the B&W configuration. Recently (which may be January 2008) the color print configurations have been sticking. So - first - Does anyone know if my assumptions are correct? Should the printer preferences set in the advanced tab on the print server overwrite the local user setting? In December we upgraded our 2k3 servers to R2 - might this upgrade be responsible? Thanks in advance - Rob |
