If you right click the printer you should be able to select 'Set Printing Defaults.' and change any options there that would propgate down. We've had success with this as sometimes users don't realize what they're printing has color in it and if their accounting code only allows BW then printing to the BW queue converts the doc to BW and doesn't print out an error page instead.Īlternatively you should be able to set the BW/Color option on the print server if you only want one print queue. This way when the user wants to print in color they can select that printer and it'll allow them to print in color. Then we set up a second queue that we designate '-Color' and allow color printing to it. So we tell our users to use that if they want to print in black and white. One defaults to B&W only and we designate that by putting a '-BW' at the end of the printer name.
What we do at my place is setup two print queus for each copier.
