Changing Printer Driver Default Install Options

You can choose the default settings for a printer driver when it is installed on the workstation. For example, in a law office you might want the default paper size to be 8 1/2 x 14. This means every time the printer and corresponding driver are installed on a workstation, the paper size is set to 8 1/2 x 14.

To modify the printer's default settings, you must use the iPrint Map Designer where you can specify a variety of printer settings. The following table shows the different settings and corresponding values. For more information on the iPrint Map Designer, see Creating Location-Based Maps with iPrint Map Designer.
