Default printer for new users

[drbruhn]

Good evening, everyone,

Our shop is switching over to using authentication via Active Directory on our 10.4.X machines, and there’s one nagging little problem that we’ve been coming across. We have multiple printers defined on the client Macs. How do we set a particular printer to be the default for each new user that logs in?

Thanks!
Dave

I’ll be honest – No clue. At this time, let’s say no.

~/.lpoptions
for each user.

So if you want to set it per machine you will need a login script that writes this file to the user’s home directory based on the machine they are at.
