Default Printer - GPO Issue

Hello Tech Gurus,
I've recently deployed a networked printer as a default printer for a certain group of computers. I believe I've followed the instructions/process correctly. When logging into the affected client, the subject printer properly appears. However,
it is not "checked" as the default. I can provide a GP Results report as required. Hope to hear from you all, thanks!

What "Action" did you select?
Greetings/Grüße,

Default Print Options when issuing output

Dear Experts:
I came across a issue regarding print options when issuing output from the billing document.
my first question is, this default print options seems to be coming from my output record as for print immediately option. where does Recipient come from?
my second question is, is it possible that I make the "print immediately" option default by user own settings in SU3?
Thanks in advance.

The recipient normally is the person which is logged in, during the NAST-Entry is saved.
I know, there are several options available in the customizing, but I'm really not sure, so perhaps you can work through the official help located here:
Output Determination (SD-BF-OC) - SAP Library
The "print immediately" option cannot be set to the user-parameters via customizing. I think you have to use a userexit in the messaging to put some lines in there to make this work, but also please work through the official documentation.
If you doesn't find a solution, I think this space match better for such a question:

When report in printed with any non-default printer, I loose my landscape formatting and crystal report prints it in potrait thereby I am getting chopped off prints. The problem is not specific to printer, it is specific to either printer that is not set to default.

This might have something to do with an old problem with the crystalprinthost.htm file. There is an error in this file regarding the paperorientation property. It is incorrectly named pageorientation instead of paperoreintation. Have a look there to see what yours says.
You should be able to find your crystalprinthost.htm file in your "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\2.7\...". (sorry I can't remember the whole path of the top of my head).

Script to map default printer based on user input

Hello everyone,
Complete scripting noob here but I managed to cludge together a vb script (from various sources) that will remove all current printers and then add printers based on group membership. It can also add a default printer and if they have a local printer
make that default. All that works just fine, my problem is that we have very large floors with many printer clusters. Group membership for printers is by floor and I do not have the option to further define this (Also GPO is not an option as getting
our network group to deploy anything takes years so we need to go this route).
What I would need is something graphical (like an HTA) that when run it prompts the user to input which floor they are on, then it asks them which of the print clusters (on the floor they specified) is closest to them. It would then install all the
printers on the floor and make the default printer one from the print cluster they indicated (unless they have a local printer). I hope this make sense.
I think I have most of the pieces laid out but I don't know how to get the user prompts/GUI and then perform the correct mappings. Thank you in advanced!

I agree with Bill. Using the correct method will be best. You network people will be more than happy to tell you what is set up and how to use it. You just need to ask your manager to get you in contact with them for a little parley.
If you are really insisting on a script then look in the repository. There are dozens of scripts that you can use and modify.
You should try to see this as a challenge to bring modern technology to your company. Approaching this kind of thing as a global IT challenge will usually get the attention of IT and they will usually take it seriously. You will likely learn
many things about the IT resources your company has.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm sorry if I wasn't clear but I'm not asking anyone to write the script for me, as I said I have most of the parts working. My issue is getting the user input and getting the script to take the action I need it to (I can map the printers based on
AD group membership I really just need to prompt the user to select which one they want as default). My thoughts were to wrap a GUI around it but it's not needed.
I agree that GPO is the way to go but in State Government it takes an act of Congress to get anything done in the mean time I'm trying to get things done with the means available to me.

Setting Default Printer via GPP

We have several PC Labs for our Students, and normally we have 2 printers per lab. We would like to have half of the lab printing to one printer and the other half of the lab printing to the other printer. I have been successful in deploying
the correct printer to the PC's, but cannot seem to get the Default Printer set.
I created 2 Computer Groups for the Labs, then used Item level Targeting to determine which group gets which printer. Regardless of where I set the Default Printer - either as part of the Computer Group Policy (Under User Configuration) or as part
of the Students' Default Login policy - the printers still do not set as Default.
I'm fairly new to GPO and GPP creation, so I could use all the help I can get.
Thanks

Deploying printers with gpp cse to computers and setting the default printer results in this error

The computer printername preference item in the 'Printer deployment' Group Policy object did not apply because it failed with error code '0x80070709 The printer name is invalid.' This error was suppressed.
I've read that this is a timing issue does anyone have any thoughts on this

> The computer printername preference item in the 'Printer deployment'
> Group Policy object did not apply because it failed with error code
> '0x80070709 The printer name is invalid.' This error was suppressed.
As in your other thread: There is no default printer for computers, so
your XML hack "might" produce the expected result or it - as in this
case - doesn't.
> I've read that this is a timing issue does anyone have any thoughts on this
If it IS a timing issue, enable

Default printer resetting after reboot in Windows 7 x64

I'm managing a domain with roughly 450 clients, all running Windows 7 Ent x64, and about 50 printers. All clients have the same desktop image with the exception of a few desktops need special additional software. I push out printers via GPO and it was
running fine until recently. The client pc would reset it default printer every time the pc reboot or log off. First, there was only a handful and now it spreads to almost half the number of pc are being effect with this problem. I've tried different
approaches, even completely rewrite the GPOs with no success. The pc would reset to either PDFCreator or OneNote or XPS or Fax. I found that if I re-image the client desktop the default printer would remain default but I'm keeping that as the
last option since it involves with data migrating and probably consumes a whole lot of time (200+ effected pc). Any leads or suggestions are much appreciated, my clients are not happy and they are chewing me alive :)
I must add that setting default printer via GPO is not an option for me since people with different groups or branches are sharing the same building/floor.

Hi,
I’m not able to get security clearance to send these files to public, I apologize for that, is there a particular section/part that
I should pay attention to from that report? I went through a report just now and I’m not sure what to look for. Would you mind to give me some direction? Thanks again
>> Please try to review the promon log. The Device value in the following Registry path contains the user's default printer:

We can use process monitor to view what issue cause the registry key reset.
There is a scenarios for your reference:

Resolution:
Start Regedit.exe

Mandatory profile: default printer always reverts to last installed printer

The only constant is: the last installed printer stays as the default printer (user can install it). How is that tracked by the system? I cannot find it anywhere.
example printer A, then B is installed. Printer B always reverts to being the default on reboot.
a. not using gpp/gpo to set printers (several thousand pcs, about 800 printers, difference preferences in each department etc)
b. from what I have read, it is normal for the mandatory profile to revert back on reboot/logoff any changes to the default printer made by the user.
c. I have tried changing registry keys for .default, the current user, which the current user (mandatory profile autologin) does not pull from .default or anywhere else I can seed.
d. the mandatory profile itself is clean the common registry keys are empty (changing these keys to your desired printer does not resolve the issue, they revert on reboot to last installed printer)
...\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Devices]
....Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\PrinterPorts
...Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows (Device key is blank)
e. commands do not stick (Tried from powershell, vp, command prompt etc) such as:
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /dl /n "pritnername" /q
"ntprint /setdefault name=<printer name>
ntprint /setdefault name=<printer name>
Read more :
http://www.ehow.com/how_7258789_add-default-printer-new-users.html

Hi,
Please allow me to clear the current situation:
1. We are using mandatory profile, and the default printer is not configured into the profile settings;
2. Every time when installing a new printer, it will change to the default one;
3. Using command line to set the default printer won't work here;
If anything misunderstood, please feel free to let me know.
So how do we install the new printer here? Any settings that we may choose to set the newly installed as the default?
Might we consider to let the user choose which printer to be set as default using scripts? See if this blog could help:
How Can I Let Users Choose a Default Printer From a List of Printers?
If the default printer is not configured into the profile settings, and no GPP configured here, how was the default printer installed?
Besides, for domain printer issue, we have a better forum to seek help with:

Hi prestigetech2,
Before going further, would you let me know the symptoms, when you find there is a group policy issue? For
an example, which function you can use? Or any others? It may help me undertsnad this issue clearly.
Please enable Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon setting (Path: Computer Settings->
Policies-> Administrative Templates-> System-> Logon). And run gpupdate /force command to refresh the group policy settings. Then check if it’s same result.
Regarding to the message, it seems that there are some troubles in Software Installation and Folder Direction
policy. For Software Installation, please check the installation source and make sure that exists and can be accessed. For folder redirection, please refer to the following similar thread and then check if can solve this issue.
Folder
redirection failed due to the error listed below. Cannot complete this function
If this issue still exists, please open Event Viewer and check if you can find some related Events. That will
help us to go further analyze.
Hope this helps.

Default printer settings for HP Deskjet 882c

All I want to do is set this printer to print in black and white by default. If I wanted color, I would use my other printer ... I want faster than a snails pace so I brought this one back out.
Being a PC for my entire life, this should be an easy thing to set the default print settings on the printer. I don't see them!
What I am printing is emails off hotmail ... tons of them ... going back months ... so please don't ask me to add an additional step here ...
Pulling my hair out here ... help would be lovely!

You are on the right track for sure. The claim code is in fact printed in blue, so if your color inks are low or empty it will not show up.
I noticed there are 2 version of the 6500A, I will go under the assumption that you do not have the 'Plus' version since you didn't specify this, shouldn't be a big discrepancy either way (let me know if I am wrong).
Viewing your ink levels is covered here, your Cyan ink cartridge could be empty : http://goo.gl/RjIhbp
You can still find the claim code on the front panel of your printer without color ink. Go back to web services on your printers display and it will show your "*@hpeprint.com" email address. The prefix before the "@" is in fact your code.
Also note that your code has most likely expired, which happens after 24 hours of being generated. Not a big deal. If your code has expired you will have to reset the web services in your printer, this will generate a new printer code. You can do this easily from the front panel of your printer.
Follow this link and expand the section “What if I lose my printer code before registering?” under “Frequently asked questions (FAQs)”
http://goo.gl/0WUyIe
(*a note on step 4, some firmware updates may have simplified this entire step to be simply “remove web services”)
After enabling the web services again the printer code area will still be blank if you are out of cyan ink.
Regardless the new code will display on the front panel (under web services).
I hope this gets you going with ePrint. Let me know if you are having issues printing in color beyond this, or if you are still experiencing difficulties with ePrint.

Network shared printers stop working; default printer changes

Hello,
Have an odd printing issue that seems to be ongoing and am trying to come up with a good solution or fix for it.
We have an environment that has a Windows 2012R2 Print Server, that is sharing various printers which are also set to List in Directory. Some of the printers are HP and are using the HP Universal driver which shows as "True" for Packaged in
the print management window, and some of the printers are Canon which are using device specific drivers and show as "False" for Packaged. My understanding is that the packaged attribute simply indicates that Point and Print can then download
the driver and install/use it without any security prompts whereas if it is not Packaged, then the driver must be installed on the local server/workstation by an Administrator. We have Group Policy defined such that all Point and Print restrictions are
Disabled.
We then have multiple Remote Desktop Session Hosts based on Server 2008R2 (x64). Users connect to these hosts via thin clients (Wyse) and there is a domain login script using KiXtart that creates printer connections to the shared printers using an address
of \\printserver\printername. We also set the default printer via the login script each time depending on user's group membership.
Each part of this setup is on it's own routed VLAN subnet, so the Print Server is on 192.168.0.x/24, RDSHs are on 192.168.1.x/24 and the printers themselves are on 192.168.2.x/24. There is no firewall or other restrictions between the subnets, all traffic
is allowed to flow.
The issue we are having is two parts, the first is the larger issue, but both are a pain:
1) Randomly (no discernible pattern/reason/timeframe), some Canon printers will stop appearing in Print dialog boxes from applications when a user tries to print. It only seems to happen on the Canon printers. The printer will still show in Control
Panel -> Devices and Printers, but when you right click it and try to go to Printer Properties or view any of the printer settings, you'll get an error saying the printer is not accessible/valid. I have also tried a WMI query for "select * from
win32_printer" and the printer will not be returned. To temporarily fix it, we right click the printer, and choose to remove it and then go through the wizard to re-add the same printer from the directory again. That will correct it and the
user can print again, view all properties, etc. This doesn't happen to every user but happens sporadically and once it happens to a user it seems to pop up once every week or two.
Now, we have made a change and installed the Canon printers in question locally on the Remote Desktop Session Hosts themselves using TCP/IP ports so that each user logging into the session host will see all of the printers. This also seems to have resolved
this issue. So it leads me to think there is some sort of timeout or connection getting dropped, but for no real apparent reason. This is all on a virtualized platform and so the Print Server and Session Hosts have very reliable LAN connections
amongst themselves. And further, we never see the issue with the HP printers, they seem to maintain their stability at all times.
2) The other issue we are seeing is that from time to time the default printer setting changes or vanishes altogether. It doesn't happen to every user but once it does happen it happens regularly (multiple times a day). This happens even when using
the locally mapped TCP/IP printer or when using the network print server. From what I have read and found, this generally seems to be a known issue regarding redirected client printers and some GP settings related thereto. But we aren't redirecting
any local client printers, everything is network based/shared.
In digging into these two issues I have run across the following error we get regularly in the PrintService Event Viewer log:
The print spooler failed to import the printer driver that was downloaded from \\printserver\print$\x64\PCC\ntprint.inf_amd64_59246c3ac1bd3f2a.cab into the driver store for driver Microsoft enhanced Point and Print compatibility driver. Error code= 800f024b.
This can occur if there is a problem with the driver or the digital signature of the driver.
And digging further into that seems to be that their was an error validating one of the DLL files as seen at the following thread: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/9fe186e4-52f7-4552-a223-b2320cfc9ed5/driver-install-semi-fails-with-800f024b?forum=winserverprint
We get the exact same error that is shown there UNISRV.DLL being flagged as invalid, and have applied the hotfix indicated in KB2701894.
I am not sure the above error is realted to the issues at hand, but figured it is a good starting point to eliminate it as a potential cause of the issue.
Any input or suggestions on what to do to diagnose or further resolve this would be greatly appreciated!

Alan, I'm getting this error 600 in my company. Is there any fix for this problem?
After installing KB2919355 on Windows 2012 R2, when I try to map a shared printer I receive the following error message: A policy is in effect on your computer which prevents you from connecting to this print queue. Please contact your system administrator.
If I uninstall the patch the shared printer maps correctly.
I also notice that if I copy the driver \\server\print$\x64\PCC\ntprint.inf_amd64_a7ac65d1b7714fb1.cab
from a Windows 2012 R2 before applying KB2919355 to the server that has the patch applyed (and rename it), I can map the printer.
Does anyone know if there is a fix for that?

Cannot set Windows 7 default printer in Boot Camp

I discovered today that I cannot set a default printer in Windows 7. I right click, and try to make one of the printers default but there is no check mark. One of the programs that I use says I do not have a printer installed.
I can print to my printers using Word by selecting the printer that I want but cannot select a default in control panel.
If I access Windows programs using a VM Fusion, the program that says there is no printer installed in boot camp, does not give be this message and I can select a printer. BTW, I have never been able to select a "default printer" using VM Fusion.
The only thing unusual is I had to reactivate Windows for no apparent reason last week and I cannot select all of the Themes available in the personalize menu.
It is difficult to pinpoint when the printer issue started because I mainly access my Windows programs through VM Fusion. I am guessing the changes happened when I had to reactivate Windows
I am away from my iMac currently and was wondering if anyone has experienced this and/or have a suggestion.?
Thanks,
Roy

Update.
Apparently this is a Windows Registry issue. Looks as if there is a VM Fusion driver set as default (thinprint??) I cannot delete or modify this registry key. A new profile solves this issue and I will have to copy everything over to the new profile, if I cannot get this registry key issue solved. I will post on a Microsoft board to see if there is a solution.

i have a problem in setting the default printer in tcode VF02...actually the scenario is we bought a new printer..and the program in billing documents always default it to the old printer...so i tried to change the printer from old to new.
and tried to change the default printer thru the following :

Set Default Printer based on user setting using Powershell script

Hi
I would like to create a script that runs on user log off and captures the default printer (set manually by the user) and then another script to reapply the settings (saved upon log off) when the user logs back in.
This is because local printers are set as default printer (PDF Creator Programs) when we all use Network Printers so this means a user has to set default printer to the network printer all the time.
I have found this script to start with:
$Printer = Get-WmiObject -namespace root\cimv2 -Query “select * from Win32_Printer Where Default = TRUE” -Impersonation 3 | select name | out-file C:\temp\Printer.txt
But the out file looks like this:
name
\\PrinterserverName\Accounts01
Which I dont see how it can be used on another script plus there are spaces after\Account01
Any Ideas please?

Hi Maelito,
According to your description, you want to export the default printer name to text file, then read this printer name from text file and set the default printer via Powershell:
#save printer name to text file
Get-WmiObject -namespace root\cimv2 -Query “select * from Win32_Printer Where Default = TRUE” -Impersonation 3 | select -ExpandProperty name | out-file C:\temp\Printer.txt
# read printer name from text file and set default printer
$name=get-content C:\temp\Printer.txt
(Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Printer -Filter "Name='$name'").SetDefaultPrinter()
If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.
Best Regards,
