Forcing Printer Settings with iPrint

Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Posted: 17 Jun 2004

Q:
Is there a way to force printer settings with iPrint? I have a duplexing printer with an extra tray and bins for output. But when I install the printer via iPrint, I have to go back into the settings and add all of that each time I install a printer.



A:
If you use HP printers, you can use their driver preconfiguration utility to add the appropriate settings to the driver's .inf file.

Another option is to use the partner product called Printer Properties Pro.

Anyone else have a suggestion? Let us know.
