Forcing default printer from gpp cse computer based policy using item level tracking

currently I have 1 policy for deploying printers and under the computer config/preferences/control panel/printers
I have 2 printers set up the exact same way with item level targeting to apply it to 2 different pc's.  so 1 printer for each pc
this all works as it should, each pc gets the correct printer, in the policy each printer has the "set this printer as the default printer" checked and "...only if a local printer is not present" is checked
the above works for 1 pc and 1 printer which becomes the default, not the second printer on the second machine.  it adds the printer but does not mark it as the default
so in the end I want floor a to get printer a and have it be the default printer and floor b to get printer b and have it the default printer

> so far this is working for the 1 printer  on the 1 pc but not on the
Yes, it seems to be "working" in terms of "the result is what you
expected". But this is  rather by accident than by design, because...
> second printer in the policy that goes to another computer using ilt
...as you are seeing yourself: It is NOT working.

  • 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

  • Printing from a Samsung Computer

    Printing from a samsung computer to a HP 6700.  From the file menu after touching print preview, no preview, and after touching print no print. What am I doing wrong?

    Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
    I do not know what you are doing wrong; I can offer the following in hopes that it might help.
    The problem is likely not directly related to your printer -- Print Preview is application driven as is the environment that helps select the printer setup.  In general, your environment must be set up first -- that is, the printer has to be installed, selected as default, on the network, and ready to go -- and then the applications can use it.
    First, if you have not already done so, please install the printer's Full Feature Software:
    Install Full Feature Software – OfficeJet 6700
    Make sure your 6700 printer is assigned as the Default printer -- assuming this is the only printer on your network, this should happen automatically.  However, if you tend to roam about from one location to another, this may not be the case -- you may want to check to make sure the printer that you expect to see is indeed the "default" printer.  In this case, you want that printer to be the HP Officejet 6700.
    Control Panel > set icon view > Devices and Printers >
    Right-Click on your printer >  assure / select as Default printer

  • Can't print from a network computer to my HP Deskjet D2680 on a Windows 7 computer

    I have an HP Photosmart 2610 all-in-one printer connected to my HP desktop computer via a USB cable.  The computer is running Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit).  I downloaded the current software and drivers from Hp (364 MB).  I can print to this printer from any other computer on my home network.   So far, so good.
    Now the problem.  I also have an HP Deskjet D2680 printer connected to the same HP desktop computer above via a USB cable.   I downloaded the current software and drivers from Hp (101 MB i think).   I can print to the D2680 from the HP computer, but I cannot print to the computer from any computer on the network.  The print request does not generate an error.  Nothing happens.  No print job shows up in the print queue on the HP desktop computer.
    When I add the D2680 as a network printer on any of my other computers, the D2680 printer is seen.  The Add Printer function knows that the printer it is a D2680 printer and sets up the correct printer driver.  Everything appears fine, but I just can't print to it from any network computer.
    I then tried to add the D2680 as a local port... no luck.  I identify it as \\ computer-name \ share-name, where computer-name is the name of the HP computer, and share-name is the name assigned to the D2680 when I shared the printer.  On the HP computer, user passwords are turned off and all sharing options are turned on.  I also modified the D2680 security to allow full access from NETWORK.   When I ty to create the local port... Access Denied.
    Does the D2680 support network printing?  If not, why? If not, someone from HP should be demoted to the mail room for that decision.  If so, it is not working.  So what do I do?  Take a sledge hammer to it, then go buy another printer? 
    So much for plug and play.   It's more like plug and cry.
    Thanks in advance for your suppprt.
    David

    I found a thread about the HP Print & Scan Doctor software tool. I downloaded and ran it.  It detected a conflict with the D2680 driver / software, so I uninstalled the driver / software.  I then reran the software install, and now everything works fine.

  • I was forced to switch from my original computer to a new one and majority of my iTunes were switched over but my audiobooks did not. Is there any way that I can retrieve them again?

    I was forced to switch from my original computer to a new one and majority of my iTunes were switched over but my audiobooks did not. Is there any way that I can retrieve them again. If I go to attempt to rebuy it, then it says thhat I technically already bought it but it won't download.

    Audiobooks are not available for redownloading, so you need to transfer them from your old computer, or get them from your backup. How did you copy your iTunes contact from your old computer to our new one?

  • Trying to print from a Vista computer to a printer connected to an XP computer

    I am trying to print from a Windows Vista computer to a shared Laserjet p2035n printer connected via USB cable to a Windows XP computer.  When I try to print a test page 2 files are sent to the spool/printers folder on the XP computer but nothing prints.  The printer prints fine when printing directly from the XP computer.  When I found the printer on the network and told it to connect it installed automatically.  I thought maybe the wrong drivers were somehow installed so I downloaded and ran the Vista drivers file for this printer from the HP site but it didn't change anything.
    I have cleared the spool folder and reinstalled the printer but still no joy.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Here is some additional information... The printer does print from other networked XP computers, just not from the networked Vista computer. This makes it seem like it must be a driver issue. Is there some way to totally remove the HP drivers for this printer from the Vista computer so that I can do a fresh install?  When I uninstall the printer from the Vista computer it obviously doesn't remove the drivers because when i reinstall the printer it goes in automatically without giving me a chance to specify where the drivers are.
    Are there any known issues regarding printing from a networked Vista machine to a printer connected to an XP box?
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions anyone out there has!

  • Mac OSX Reader 10.1.2 – Cannot Change Default Printer From "Any Printer"

    With Mac Acrobat Reader 9.x it was possible to use Page Setup to set the default printer from “Any Printer” to one of our choice.  Once set it was possible to print many documents without having to go back and reset it every time.  In other words it would ‘remember’ the setting.
    Mac Acrobat Reader 10.1.2 does not remember the setting of the printer in the Page Setup dialogue and keeps reverting to "Any Printer" between printing; either from the same document or multiple documents.  Thus on each occasion I need to print I need to go to Page setup and reselect the printer.  Irritating, and time wasting.
    Now this would not matter if there were not a slight, but nevertheless significant, improvement in print quality between a document printed with the correct printer and “Any Printer” selected in Page Setup.
    NOW, before you all jump in with suggestions read this:
    1:  I do have the printer selected as the default printer in System Preferences (no difference anyway).
    2:  Selecting printer in the Print dialogue makes no difference to the print quality.  It MUST be selected in Page Setup.
    ADOBE, can you please get Mac Acrobat Reader X (10.x) to revert to the same behaviour as Reader 9.x ?
    Thank you.

    The same problem exists in Reader 11.0 for Mac.  In my case, it defaults to our specialty photo printer instead of the workhorse laserprinter.

  • HT204053 My ipad stores my documents on iCloud. How can I find them from a different computer, as I used to do by using a memory stick on my old PC etc ?

    My ipad stores my documents in iCloud. How can I find them from a different computer?  I used to use a memory stick and could work on my documents on any computer and want to have a replacement system using documents created on my ipad - I can't use a memory stick with it.

    How do you know that they are on iCloud, the iPad can (and does) save locally. If they are on iCloud they will be accessible via the application that created them (Pages, Numbers etc) and can be reached from any computer with iCloud access by logging to iCloud.com. But you did that and stated that they are not there, so what makes you think that they are?

  • Is there anyway to restore an iphone to new from a different computer and then use a backup from the cloud?

    Is there anyway to restore an iphone to new from a different computer and then use a backup from the cloud? At&t said that they unlocked the phone but that it needs to be reset in itunes and retored for it to work. However, I do not have access to my computer as I am overseas and need to put a new sim card in. Anyone had this problem and know a way to go around this?

    If you have an backup on iCloud. You can restore via iTunes (on every computer) or via your iPhone itself.
    And yes, you can restore the backup via iCloud.
    To set iPhone to new do this: Settings > General > Reset > Erase all data and Reset all Settings.
    It take a while. But after this, you can restore backup via iCloud.

  • How to grab local computer's default printer from a link in OAF

  • How can I retrieve the IP address of the default printer from the windows registry

    I am using LabVIEW 7 on windows NT4 computers.
    I have a SubVI that I use to ping the network printer to make sure that the printer is on line prior to sending a print at the end of testing a unit.
    If LabVIEW does not get a reply to its ping data is saved locally and the user informed.
    I would like to modify the VI that pings the printer to ping the default printer of the computer on which the VI is running.
    I would be grateful if anyone can show me how to retrieve the default printers IP address.

    Hi Stuart,
    The registry entries for User's Default Printer are:
    Win 9x:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr​entVersion\Windows]
    NT/XP:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows]
    "Device"="Printer Name"
    The device is the name used to represent the printer in the registry. The name can be found in the [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers\Settings] key.
    Machine name is part of the "Printer Name," which you can use to ping directly (i.e., w/out having to look-up its IP address).
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Khalid

  • Compatibility of using Photosmart 7510 printer with a Photosmart 7525 printer from the same computer

    Before installing, registering, and setting up my new HP Photosmart 7525 I need to know whether I can keep using my 2 year old HP Photosmart 7510 and its software on my computer and whether this would cause a conflict.  My 2 year old Photosmart 7510 works fine and I want to  use the Photosmart 7510 and the Photosmart 7525 both from the same computer and network without conflict.  And if a conflict would be probable, is it necessary to remove the Photosmart 7510 software before installing the software/drivers for the Photosmart 7525?

    Hi,
    You can install more than 1 printer to your computer. They will share few folders including HP Photo Creations product but they should live harmony together.

  • Sending a book for printing from a different computer

    Hi everybody,
    I'm an Aperture registered user and I live in Italy. At home, I actually have a quite slow internet connection. On the other hand, my office one is very fast but our lan does not accept a mac so I can't connect my macbook pro. Is it possible to "send" the book from a different computer? I mean, once Aperture have created the pdf-x, is it possible to carry the file from my macbook pro to my office pc and send it to Apple for printing?
    Thank you!
    Paolo

    Boot into Safemode and Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
    If it is good order while in safe mode

  • Keeping the default printer from changing

    I've been s.l.o.w.l.y. migrating from word to pages. I can't appear to keep the printer as the default. It continues to default to fax. Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Craig

    It seems that there is really a problem with Pages on this feature.
    Here I got the same behavior so I uninstalled my Epson Printer so there is only one connected printer.
    For you, it's more annoying because you switch between a printer and a fax.
    Maybe you may create a new user account.
    Use only the printer from the original account, and use only the fax from the alternate account.
    With the fast switching feature, it may be a viable workaround.
