1. not really, you need to reinstall the driver, you could do that through logon scripts or group policies, however.<br />
2. not without editing the driver cab files

The objective is to cut down the amount of wasted printed paper we have. &nbsp;To do this we want to set document retention as default settings on the printer driver that the users can not override.<br />
The two issues we have are<br />
1) the users printer drivers were installed without document retention setting being the default, now we have set it, that setting is not being picked up by the users without re-installing the driver. &nbsp;Is there an automated way to do this?<br />
2) how can we stop the user overriding this and removing the retention setting when they print?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
