Outlook 2007/2010 only prints to default printer

We use the following command to add network printers to XP PCs' (this saves each user of the PC having to find and install the network printer themselves)
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ga /n\\machine\printer
This adds the printer for all users of the PC, however Outlook 2007/2010 only allows the user to print to the default printer, regardless of which printer the user selects.
When printing from Word/Excel or any other application the print goes to the selected printer.
Has anyone else had this problem, and found a solution, or know why Outlook only prints to default but other office applications print to other printers correctly ?
Thanks
Steve

I am having a similar issue to ferdz2013.
I am running terminal services on server 2008 R2. This is in a domain environment, the user has permissions to the color printer in question and can print to it using Word and notepad. However in Excel, it will not print to the color printer.
Even if I select the color printer as the default printer, it only prints to another BW printer. In fact, there are .......
Well, as I was writing this, after troubleshooting it for an hour, it fixed itself. I was going into his control panel to count the network printers installed (about 5) of which he could only choose from 2 in excel. Suddenly, he has only
two installed. We can print to it, but we can't choose color now.
I believe this is a domain controller issue, where he is attached to one DC, and I am attached to a second DC, where I change the AD permissions. It took an hour for them to exchange this information.
Just something else to think about.
Now I need to figure out why he can only select BW.

Excel 2010 not using the default print settings

Currently got an issue with Excel 2010 not using the default print settings for a couple of users on our network,
basically when pressing cntrl P or selecting the print option from the file menu the printer settings are different to the print settings selected in the devices and printers menu, we have checked the print drivers etc but this has still not resolved the
issue, all other office programs are fine and also other users are reporting this issue more and more with different printers,
tried restarting print spooler service and re-installing office but this has come to no avail,
any ideas would be much appreciated!

Hi,
This issue occurs because the Page Setup settings that you specify in your file override the settings that you specify in the printer driver properties.
To work around this issue, do not specify the paper size, page orientation, or page margins in the printer driver properties. Instead, specify these settings in your workbook.
To specify these settings, follow these steps:
1.Start Excel, and then open the workbook you want to change.
2.In Microsoft Office Excel 2010, click the sheet that you want to print, and then click the Page Layout tab. In the Page Setup group, click Page Setup to open the Page Setup dialog box.
3.Click the Page tab.
4.Under Paper size, click the paper size that you want.
5. Click Options button and in Printing Shortcuts tab, in the Paper source area, perform one of the following steps: ◦If the printer can automatically select the correct paper tray to use, click Default tray in the First page list, and then click Default
tray in the Other pages list.
Default tray is the default setting in both of these lists.
◦If the printer cannot automatically select the correct paper tray to use, you may have to select the paper tray that contains the paper size that you selected in step 4.
To do this, click the appropriate paper tray in the First page list and in the Other pages list.
6.If you want to change the page orientation or its page margins, click the Finishing tab.
7.Select the options that you want.
8.Click OK.
9.Repeat steps 2 to 8 for each sheet of your workbook for which you want to specify settings.

OWA works Fine no issues

Hey Alan
If you have enabled web-based publishing of your Offline Address Book (OAB) and your Outlook users get continuously prompted to enter their passwords, you need to check a couple of things:
Make sure Autodiscover is working perfectly before you made the OAB change.
Hold down the CTRL button and right click on the Outlook icon on the task bar, then select
Test Email Autoconfiguration. Unselect GuessSmart and Secure GuessSmart and keep
Use Autodiscover selected. On the Log tab, make sure Autodiscover is successful and that it was able to bind to an SCP.
Make sure that the autodiscover.domain.com entry is added to your certificate’s
Subject Alernative Names list.
If you are facing problems with Autodiscover, you should correct that first before attempting the steps mentioned below.
Make sure that you have defined the External and Internal URLs for the OAB virtual directory in your client access server.
Once you have made sure that Autodiscover is working OK, and that the credentials are being prompted for the OAB URL (and not the mailbox server), you need to check the IIS Authentication setting on the client access server.
On the Client Access Server running Windows Server 2008, open IIS Manager console.
Click on Default Web Site
Open Authentication
Note that only Anonymous Authentication is enabled. All other authentication methods should be disabled.
Temporarily enable Windows Authentication
Right click on Windows Authentication and choose Advanced Settings
Uncheck Enable Kernel Mode Authentication and click
OK
Disable Windows Authentication
Do an IISRESET
Also make sure that kernel-mode authentication is disabled for the RPC virtual directory.
Restart Outlook. You should no longer get the prompt for credentials. Test the configuration with Outlook Anywhere clients as well, if you have enabled Outlook Anywhere on your Client Access Servers.
You may need to repeat this configuration on all Client Access Servers that are enabled for Web-based publishing of Offline Address Book (OAB).

How do i connect manually to Exchange 2013 from Outlook 2007/2010 in another forest?

Hello All,
I have a source organization: Windows 2003 domain + Exchange 2010 SP3 + smtp domain acme.com
Target organization: Winows 2012 R2 domain + Exchange 2013 CU3 + smtp domain acme.com
We are migrating to target organization.
I want to connect Outlook 2007/2010 to their target mailbox (Exchange 2013) from a machine which is joined to Source DOmain.
I couldn't use autodiscover, because as the machine is joined to source domain, autodiscover it's mapping to Exchange 2010.
It only works when I machine is joined to target domain.
Any idea how to connect manually to eXCHANGE 2013 mailbox from a machine which is joined to source domain?
Regards
José Osorio

Hi,
Firstly, I’d like to explain, Autodiscover service can be used cross forest:
1. the two forests must be trusted.
2. configure a mail contact in the original forest.
For more information, please refer to the partition named how to configure the Autodiscover service for cross-forest moves in the following article:

Thunderbird emails over to Outlook 2007/2010 How

I have 2 computers here in the office that have Thunderbird install on them and my boss would like for them to be transferred over to Outlook 2007/2010 with out any data loss. Every thing I have read has inform me that there could be some data loss.
Is there any way to do a complete data transfer without lossing any data to Outlook 2010 without using express.
John E. Donaldson

The easiest way is the baby step route-- at least you will not need to buy any software (or load any malware).
1. Get an IMAP email account somewhere. The only free version I know of is through Google, although if you have a web server somewhere you probably can get an IMAP account there. Set this IMAP account up on Outlook: it's easy to
do and both Google and Microsoft have help pages to walk you through it. If you need help, Bing or Google this subject, followed by either "site:google.com" or "site:microsoft.com" in the search box. Also, set this account up on your Thunderbird
mail client as well.
Now you should have both identical IMAP accounts set up, on Outlook and Thunderbird. Make sure you have sync'd both to the server when choosing options, so your client computer and server both mirror one another.
(Of course, if your Thunderbird account was an IMAP account to start with and not a POP account, you could avoid setting up another account and instead simply set that up on Outlook without any conversion, so I'm assuming you are inquiring about a
POP account in Thunderbird. If you have an IMAP account in Thunderbird sync'd to the server, all you would need to do is to set that account up in Outlook, and all your mail will show up by itself, after a pause).
2. In the POP Thunderbird account, just drag all your folders from your old account over to the new IMAP account, which also exists on Outlook. (I do this all the time by the way, move folders between various mail accounts that exist on
both clients.)
So now all your folders will show up in Outlook on your new IMAP account and can be dragged, copied, deleted to any other Outlook mail account. One caveat that people (me) sometimes overlook if new to IMAP: they still need to do .pst backups, even
though the server/client are sync'd. If one accidentally deletes a file or a folder, say from a Unix type system, or corrupts files by some other route, it can still be lost--so back-ups are very necessary.
Any address books in Thunderbird will need to be moved separately, in an exported file.
Hope this helps. I do stuff like this all the time by the way, it's helpful especially when I have to convert a very old program or 'can't get there from here,' to go to some intermediate destination.

Configuring Message Clasifications Exchange 2010 - Outlook 2007/2010/2013

Hi
I created Message Classification as described in:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123498(v=exchg.141).aspx
New-MessageClassification ....
New MessageClassification is visible in OWA.
I stared deploy Message Classifications for Outlook 2007 using this
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998271(v=exchg.141).aspx
Of course there is small bug: "AdminClassificationPath"="c:\\Classifications.xml" but is should be
"AdminClassificationPath"="c:\Classifications.xml"
After set up it doesn't work. The same for Outlook 2010 and 2013?
Does anybody deploy Message Classifications for Outlook 2007 or 2010 or 2013 with success?
I use Exchange 2010 SP3 with all RU and Outlook 2007, 2010, 2013 with all updates.
Kind Regards Tomasz

Hi,
How do you know this is an old reoccurring message? Based on the content or time?
Since the MailboxAutoReplyConfiguration is correct, I suspect the issue can occur by certain client machine. At this stage, I suggest you disable OOF and re-enable
OOF on the problematic machine. If the issue persists, please refer to the following article to clean the problematic client’s Outlook rules. (run Outlook.exe /cleanrules in Run console.)

HP PhotoSmart C6380 will only print to default printer in Outlook

Hello,
I hope you can help me figure this out. We recently purchased a HP PhotoSmart C6380 for an employee here and we have encountered a strange problem. If the printer is selected as default, then regardless of what printer we choose in Outlook only we can only print to that printer. The last printer she had did not do this and it was an HP as well (although I can't remember the model). Both printers were set up as network printers. The difference is that on the previous printer we set it up by created a TCP/IP port and sharing that out to others. This printer had a network option upon install, so I did it that way.
Anyone that is sharing this printer has the same problem. If they want to print out any e-mail (does not matter if there are attachments) it will only go to this HP printer regardless. We are using Office 2007 and I have done my research on it as well, and I can't find a common thread, since the last printer was also used to print within it, but had no problems choosing other printers.
The only thing I can come up with is the way I installed this printer. We just had a network cable attached to it and had the software search for it and set it up in that fashion. Again, I don't think it's Outlook 2007 because it only occurs with this particular printer, albeit only in that application.
Has anyone ever seen anything like this?
Thanks,
mtaffer

How to have "black and white only" be the default print option

Just installed a new printer and would like to set it up so that the default print option is black and white only. How do I do this?

Can't find this anywhere. I'm brand new to Macs so I
might need more detailed instructions.
I have an HP Photosmart C6100 by the way.
Not sure which post you are responding to since you replied to yourself
Every printer is a little different so you may have to do some searching through the settings. I don't have an HP Photosmart C6100 here so I can't say for sure where the setting is for that printer.
The closest thing I have to that model printer here is an HP OfficeJet 6310
In that model you choose Paper Type/Quality
In drop down menu under Color you select Gray Scale
Then you can still save the preset as I described in my previous post.
If the C6100 is different than that you may just have to search through option pages and explore the drop down selections.
Which I could be more specific, but they are all a little different.

Outlook 2007/2010 with Exchange 2010 missing tasks operation has failed only on PC not OWA

We have searched this topic to no success I'm baffled as to how to resolve this problem.
End user software: Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010,
Server side: MS Server 2012 R2 with MS Exchange 2010
Scenario: We have merged 2 forests together to a new forest. Months before hand had rolled out exchange 2010. A majority of users in
forest2 still are on Office 2007 where as users in
forest1 are nearly all on Office 2010.
Now so far we have 3 users (from Forest2) whom have reported 'missing tasks' with the message 'Operation has Failed' when attempting to view their tasks.
We have ran the outlook commands related to this type of issue that clear the reminders and resetting them with - No Success.
They have no issue when using OWA, or Outlook via mobile device. The issue only occurs on PC. We have tried profile rebuilds, fresh SOE, the issue appears to be resolved but the next time the user opens Outlook the problem comes back.
On the server we have ran all the integrity checks no corruption has been found in any way.

Hi,
I recommend that you try the following method on client PC and then check the result:
Click Start >> Click Run >> Type outlook.exe /resettodobar
>> Click OK.
Hope this helps!
Thanks.

Reader does only see my default printer (Vista)

Hi there
product version : 10.1.7
For now few days, I've ran into a weird issue. In my 80 users, only 1 got this issue, instead he have the same Adobe Reader version. He got a Vista on a Dell desktop computer.
As I changed his default printer, Adobe Reader will always shows up only the default printer in his printer list, but not the other ones, despite the fact that's every other softs' (Word, Excel, Autocad, etc ..) recognize every printers added in the Vista printer manager and can print properly.
All these printers are deployed through a server, and are not shared on his computer.
I tryed to uninstall/reinstall Reader, to downgrade it
to check the registry keys bounded to the ports, drivers and printer infos.
disable the enhanced security mode on Reader
reboot, redeploy printers on Vista
If someone got an idea or a hint, I would be grateful. Thanks for your help, I'm stuck around .

OUTLOOK 2013 permission shared calendar Free/Busy doesn't work for some the users Exchange 2010 and Exchange 2003 that use outlook 2007/2010

Hello,
We are in coexitence organisation (transition Migration) Exchange 2003 sp2 and Exchange 2010 sp1.
Users in Exchange 2003 use outlook 2007 and outlook 2010
Users in Exchange 2010 use outlook 2007, outlook 2010 and outlook 2013.
Issue: users in Exchange 2003 can't open outlook 2013 user calendar when he has Busy/Free information as default permission in his calendar.
User in Exchange 2010 with outlook 2007 can't also open outlook 2013 user calendar when he has Busy/Free information as default permission in his calendar.
Is it normal ? or exist some configurations to do in order to coexist all thoses clients and servers ?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Does this issue occur on Outlook only or both Outlook and OWA?
Since you have double checked the permissions via multiple methods, it seems there is nothing problem on permission. Please make sure the migration from Exchange 2003 server completed successfully.
If in OWA everything goes well (cannot see details), it should be an issue on the Outlook client side.
I suggest run Outlook under safe mode to avoid some AVs and add-ins.
I suggest re-create profile to refresh the caches.
Thanks

Hi,
As what ED says, there are some limits to using Network Stored PST files in Outlook. Please use the local PST file for Outlook using.
If there is a remote .pst file (over a network link), Outlook tries to use the file commands to read from the file or write to the file. However, the operating system must then send those commands over the network because the file is not located on the local
computer. This creates lots of overhead and increases the time that is required to read and write to the file. For more information about it, please refer to the following articles:
Limits to using personal folders (.pst) files over LAN and WAN links

Can Password Reset Work for Non Domain MS Outlook (2007, 2010 and 2013) Clients? NOT OWA, Please

Hi All,
I migrated from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013. I have configured expired password reset and it works fine on OWA (for both internally and externally accessed users) and all computers joined to my domain running MS Outlook clients. However, my users wants
it to work for all MS Outlook client of computers not joined to my domain.
How can I go about this? Does expired password reset work on MS Outlook client (2007, 2010 and 2013) computers not joined to the domain?
Please, help

Hello,
Based on my known, I'm afraid that there is no way to reset expired password if your Outlook client computers not joined to the domain.
For external users, we only reset password via owa.

How to automatic print to default printer

now i use this command
web.show_document('http://servername:7778/reports/rwservlet?server='||
'repserver&report='||Para_Repname||'&desformat=pdf&destype=cache&userid='||
Get_Application_Property(USERNAME)||'/'||Get_Application_Property(PASSWORD)||'@'||Get_Application_Property(CONNECT_STRING)||
v_parameter||'&paramform=no','_blank');
it 's show pdf file in browser if i want to print i must click printer icon on browser, but i want it to automatic print to printer immediate
someone has solution.

Because the reports run on the server and not on the client machine, there really is no way to print to the client's default printer because the server has no way of knowing what this printer is.
You could create a user parameter with a list of the printers that are normally used and have the users select which printer you wanted the output sent to.

Outlook 2007/2010 only prints to default printer
