Change printer settings using print management

I have deployed some printers using 'Print Management' in Windows 2012. My users see the printer. By default, 'paper size' is set to 'letter'. I want to change it to 'A4'. 
I went to 'print management' tool on the print server. There I changed the format to 'A4'. I have right clicked the printer and I have chosen 'deploy with group policy'.
Unfortunately, the paper size is still set to 'letter'. Also after 'gpupdate /force' and computer restart.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Printer settings are not pushed to clients. the only way to get the default settings from the server is to unmap and remap the network printer. this allows user to locally adopt the settings to their likings. A workaround that is often impelmented is
have the logon scritp rempa all network printers.
you should take care to configure the settigns correctly on the printserver as it is easy to mistakenly configure your local settings only.http://support.microsoft.com/kb/305402

  • Problems trying ot change Netowrk Settings

    I updated my computer to Windows 10 build 10041.  When I go to Network and Sharing Center, click on Change adapter settings, then right click on my Ethernet connection and click properties I get an error message saying "An unexpected
    error occurred"
    I am able to change network settings using the PowerShell without issues.  Some software that relies on network setting do not work correctly, however.  The same software worked fine in the previous build.
    Anybody else with this problem?
    Thanks

    Since both AZ and I can access all the above suspect it is local to your machines.
    I would run a sfc & DISM as described in the wiki (and yes it does work in win 10 if done as described
    Please run a system file check(SFC) & DISM if you are on win 8 or higher

    I’m using an iMac running Os X Yosemite, Photoshop CS5 Extended, R2880 Epson printer  In the Print Settings dialog box, I can’t select Color, Advanced BW or Grayscale unless I select “Printer Manages Color”. The pull down menu is grayed out. Even with “printer manages color” the tif or jpg image comes out in color overlaid with black. (See example - printer1. image on left is close to what it should be). Photoshop has no updates pending. I’ve downloaded the latest Epson driver which was working fine just before the problem occurred

    Is your Photoshop CS5 updated to 12.1?
    Are you on Yosemite 10.10.1 or Yosemite 10.10.2?
    Did you apply the recent Epson software 2.1.9 update?
    What type of file is it (file format)?  What bit depth and what color space?

  • I just upgraded my iPad to ios6. Now my Epson iPrint crashes all the time. I called Epson and they had no answer...said to use AirPrint instead. But AirPrint stinks because you cannot change printer settings. Anybody know how to make iPrint work on ios6?

    Anybody know how to make Epson iPrint work on ios6? Epson told me to use AirPrint, which stinks because you cannot change printer settings.

    Epson needs an update to their app to support ios6. I'm sure they will in time.
    Try deleting it and re download it. If that doesn't work, it's what I said above. :(

  • Using Mac OS 10.7.2 in Photoshop updated 12.0.4 I can not change Print Preferences

    I updated my Mac to OS 10.7.2 and I also updated my Adobe to 12.0.4, when I open Adobe Photoshop, open file, make changes, when I go to print, it defaults to 11 in X 8.5 in and when I click print preferance, nothing happens.. it will not allow me to change any settings.. I use an Epson 9600 Pro INk which I also have the new drivers for that printer. I can print with outher programs, like Lightroom, and from my computer as well and it will let me choose the sizes, type of paper, qualty etc... but not in Photoshop... whcih is a real bummer... any ideas... I also called the support center, and I lost my connection 7 minutes in to the call that I have been waiting for.. any help or ideas?

    Change Color Handling to "Printer Manages Color" and then back to "Photoshop Manages Color", then you should be able to get into "Print Settings"

  • Office 2013 with Lexmark printer - Cannot change printer settings

    I have a Lexmark x4650 and I can open the printer settings within all of the Office 2013 applications (Windows 7 64-bit). But after I change the settings to what I want, I cannot exit the printer settings dialog. If I click OK, nothing happens. If I click
    Cancel, nothing happens. If I click the X in the upper right of the window, nothing happens. The only way to close the printer settings dialog is to force the Office application to close through the Windows task manager. I've tried re-installing both Office
    and the Lexmark print driver/applications with no success. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Does anyone have a solution?
    Thanks,
    John

    We need to narrow down the issue, to see if the root cause is on Office side or Printer side. Please try below steps for troubleshooting:
    1. Try obtaining an updated printer driver from the printer's manufacturer. And update your PC, restart and try again.
    2. Try to select another printer in Printer
    drop-down list in any Office application, and try again to see if we have the same issue.
    Printing is primarily controlled by settings in Microsoft Windows:
    3. Please try to print a file outside the Office application, say a .pdf file to determine whether your printer setup in Windows is correct or using the Windows Printing
    Troubleshooter.
    Hope this can help you. Thanks.

  • Photoshop CS6 freezes with attempts to change printer settings

    (This problem also occurs with InDesign CS6, so I will post to that forum as well. First one to give me a solution gets my undying love and devotion appreciation.)
    My employer acquired a Canon 6010 printer with a Fiery print controller last year. I have no problems printing from my personal Windows laptop. 
    However, from my employer's iMac (OS X 10.6.8) I get the spinning beach ball of death at least 90% of the time that I open an existing document and attempt to change the printer settings. The only way out is via Force Quit. Inexplicably I can occasionally succeed in changing printer settings. I think the record was having to force quit the application 11 times. Not sure - I quit counting.
    So far our only semi-consistent work around: create a new document and copy and paste the contents from the existing document. Not cool. But sometimes the app freezes with brand new documents, thus destroying my work around anyway.
    Additional Information:
    I have installed all CS6 upgrades.
    Our technical support contractor recreated the problem and could not find any solution other than the work around.
    Canon says the problem is with the applications.
    This happens whether I attempt to change the printer settings immediately or make changes to the document first.
    It does not matter what other applications are running.
    Rebooting the system after the app freezes does not make it work.
    We cannot upgrade past 10.6.8 because of the age of the hardware. But CS6 is supposed to run on Snow Leopard.
    I have tested this with other applications, including some older Adobe software. It does not happen with Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, InDesign CS3, Photoshop CS3, Acrobat 8 Pro, Acrobat 9 Pro or Acrobat XI Pro.
    This happens whether the documents were created and saved on the Mac or on a Windows computer.
    Re-saving the documents and/or printer settings does not change the outcome. Once I restart the application Photoshop may remember the paper size, but doesn't remember duplex settings. (From another thread in this forum I suspect a corrupt printer preferences file.)
    Per the instructions in the other thread I reset the printing preferences by launching the app while holding down shift-control-command. That enabled me to change the printer settings one time. Every subsequent attempt brought back the spinning beach ball.
    No other employees report similar problems (including a few MacBook users). However, they do not use Photoshop or InDesign, nor do they typically change printer settings.
    Sorry if some of that is irrelevant - just trying to give you as much info as possible and tell you what I've tried already. Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Bonnie

    Nanneri, my situation is similar in that creating the PDF and printing from that does take longer than just printing from InDesign and Photoshop.
    I finally got a Canon tech rep on site who understood my problem. Though we had tried reinstalling the drivers (as had previous Canon reps), this guy got it right. Neither Photoshop nor InDesign has locked up since - at least not for the Canon 6010. (Photoshop has locked up twice when I've attempted to print to a Canon iPF8300s wideformat that isn't on the Fiery. Restarting PS has fixed that.)
    Based on my experience, I would start with new drivers.
    FYI: I am having problems printing to a new Canon C7065 that also uses Fiery. But the problems vary and I haven't isolated the factors. Sometimes I get a printed error report. Sometimes it just doesn't print. But no more software lockups.
    In our case, I suspected our problems were related to having old hardware that can't be upgraded past OS X 10.6.8, which is the oldest OS compatible with both CS6 and the Fiery. But since you are on a newer OS, and a different printer, I'm beginning to wonder about the Fiery.
    Hope you find a solution soon. Keep us posted!

  • My photos are not printing right with adobe manages color but works when i use printer manages color. never had any issues untill a week ago.

    my photos are not printing right with adobe manages color but works when i use printer manages color. never had any issues untill a week ago.

    We use CS6, yes we calibrate using x-rite. I have always had adobe manage colors when printing. This problem just occurred, all my settings are the same as they have been for years. The only thing we did lately is do an update to CS6. We thought it might be our printer but when we use the printer manages color it works fine, The problem with adobe manages color is it is not blending the light highlights like on top of the cheeks with the colors around the cheeks  and its putting a faint red between the two it just does not have a smooth transition. I printed a photo that I had printed 4 months ago with no issue, and this time it had the issue that I am dealing with now. Somehow the photo shop manages color is not getting the right info to my printer.  
    I set paper type
    set quality
    no color adjustment
    set my profile

  • Cannot change print settings, print on foto size

    When I want to print a webpages the printer (HP6380) prints in the format 10 x 15 instaed of A4. I tried changing the settings in printermenu but it did not help...

    When reading your '''More system details...''' for the HPOfficejet 6300 series printer, the paper height is set to 11.0 and the width to 8.5 - '''inch''' settings for Letter size paper - not metric settings for A4 sized paper.
    Where are you checking the setting for A4 paper?
    {Ctrl + P} to see what is known as the "native print dialog", then check to make sure that printer is selected in the Printer - Name box at the top, and then hit the '''Properties''' button. The preferences that appear there are what Firefox uses. Settings that appear elsewhere or the "default" printer settings aren't what Firefox uses.

  • Changed computer settings. Now I cannot print. Please help!!!

    In an attempt to make my machine faster, I changed the settings of a few services on my Dell Studio Laptop (running Vista).
    Everything is working fine with the exception of my J6450 Wireless Printer...and it worked fine before the reconfig. 
    It still works (made a b/w copy to enure it wasn't the machine that was broken).
    It seems to connect when I start my computer, however when I print, I get a simple "Error - Printing" notice in the printer dialogue box.
    I have reconfigured all HP related services in the computer management console, however the error remains.
    Is anyone aware of a specific service that should be running or configured a specific way?  Perhaps one knows of another forum where I could share the services running to get more focused advice?
    Many thanks!!

    i have the same problem , was working fine before then i changed my password & cant get it to connect now .
    have deleted the hotmail account & tried adding again this doesnt work
    any ideas anyone ?

  • Any printer UI for change printer settings?

    Since Solaris 10's printing system is powered by PPD files. (at least for some printers). I suppose I can access all features PPD file provide: Change page size, input-tray, output-tray, color-mode, etc.
    Is there a GUI that comes with Solaris that can help me change printer settings? (The printer manager is useless)
    How do I tell what command line option a PPD file provides? (Yes, I can write my own script to parse the PPD file for OpenUI, CloseUI), but what's Sun's solution for it?

    /usr/sadm/admin/bin/printmgr &
    Don't ask me why it's in a weird location.
    It's the Best GUI In The World -
    gives you the option of a console
    window, so you can see what it's
    doing on the command-line in
    response to your button-clicks.
    Dunno about the PPDs.
    cheers.

  • How can i change printer settings from command line

    hello 
    i want to use command that changes printer to print grayscale or color 
    the best i find is to use: rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry
    but i cant find color settings there 
    i would like your help with that 
    thanks alot !

    We may have to wait for an update.  Aside from changing the country, I'm not sucre this can be done.  There is no Health App in the System preferences and no  way to modify from within the app.  Weird.
    If you go to Language & Region under general settings and choose any other country, you will get Metric.  I have the opposite problem.  I live in a Metric country and want my health app to be in lbs and inches which is what I am used to.

  • Why are printer managed color prints different from Photoshop managed color prints using the same color profile?.

    I'm using Photoshop 13.0.1, Windows 7, to print images using custom color profiles made with an XRite colorimeter.  However, when I print the image using Printer Manages Color, it is not the same as Photoshop Manages the colors and selecting the Canon ICC profile that (Canon 7200 MP2) that is the same as the printer managed settings.  Why are these prints not the same if the same color profile is being accessed??

    Hi WA Veghe,
    >First: DO synchronize, makes sure you have the same profile settings and color mange settings.
    I don't seem to be able to synchronize between CS4 (Photoshop) and CS3 (Indesign).
    It seems I have to do without synchronizing..
    >I do not seem to find HOW you are diplaying images on you screen: with Soft proofing?
    What happens if you soft proof in Photoshop and InDesign on screen: View > Proof colors. Do you proof with the same profiles, both simulate paper and black on?
    I can simulate Proof Colors (working CMYK), but not simulate Paper, both in Indesign and Photoshop.
    Problem is: SAME settings in Photoshop and Indesign BUT the image displayed in Photoshop is brighter and more saturated.
    So which image should I correct after?
    thanks for all help

  • Change printer color settings???

    Hello,
    How do I change the settings in tiger (and 10.3.9) to print in color only when i tell it to? My printer is an HP photosmart 7760 with appropriate drivers installed. I just dont really know how to do this.......
    Thanks in advance.

    I don't know anything about the Savin printer, but there is a way to change your printer settings from black and white to color - presuming the printer driver isn't at fault.
    Starting from Safari (the easiest way to access your printer's settings), press Command-P, which brings up the printing options. Under "Quality and Media," a pulldown menu on the right middle part of the screen, and look for the box that says "Grayscale Printing" - uncheck that. Under "Media Type," use "Plain Paper." You should be able to print using these settings.
    If the driver is at fault, which I suspect may be the case, make sure your've updated to the latest drivers, which are for Snow Leopard. I'm uncertain if they have drivers for Lion.
    Post here with your results!

  • Changing printer settings no longer works - requesting lpadmin password!

    When pressing the _"Pause Printer"_ button, or changing printer settings, I get a dialog box come up saying:
    *Type the name and password of a user in the "lpadmin" group to allow Photosmart C4500 series (HPF615EE).app to make changes.*
    I have typed my username and password in several times, to no avail. I am the only administrator on this computer. Apparently I am not a member of this "lpadmin" group, and have never seen it before in my life!
    What do I do?
