If they are setup with Group Policy you should be able to set default print settings on the server.

So, we've recently switched to Active Directory on our public machines. Although we're a relatively small library, it is still creating some printing chaos. We added the printers to the computers manually using an admin account and the printers are mapped to the LPR port and defaults/preferences are all set. However, these preferences and settings don't seem to hold when users login. Is there a nice way to set the default printer for users? And preferences like printing double sided? I recognize some of this might be able to be done at a group policy level, but, I wanted to see what other folks were doing. *TL;DR:* *How do you manage local printing (printers are in our building) when computers are on Active Directory (managed at a campus level)? *I'm curious what works (or doesn't work) for other libraries. Have a good afternoon! Angela Stangl Digital Services Coordinator Rodney A. Briggs Library University of Minnesota, Morris amstangl(at)morris.umn.edu p.s. I'd be willing to take responses off-list if that helpful.
