In theory your answer would have worked, however this particular copier driver required me to download an additional tool to edit the default settings. You did point me in the right direction though. Thanks.

We have a kix login script that installs specific printers based on a user's location. All this does is add a network printer that is shared from a server 2003 print server. The printer is a Ricoh Affia 7501. The color printing is restricted. I've set up 2 printers on the print server. The first of which is set up to be black and white only, the second is for color use. This has worked fine in the past, but now we have a new batch of copiers which require some specific settings within the driver for the users to be able to use it, to print in color or whatnot. The problem is that when the printer gets added, it retains the default installation properties and not those which are set up on the print server. Is there a way to force these settings to be applied when installed? Or how can I apply these settings via the kix login script or other means?

Keeping preferences from printer installed on print server

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).
