Hi wolfcamel,<br />
<br />
Where exactly would the 'other' place be? <br />
<br />
When you right click on the printer you can go to Printer properties, Printer Preferences or just Properties.<br />
<br />
I have checked within all of these menu's that it is set to Black and White.

Thank you very much Wolfcamel!<br />

Hi All,<br />
<br />
I'm running an environment consisting of XenServers with Windows 2008 R2 VM's and our PC/NB environment is all Windows 7 32-bit with only a handful on 64-bit.<br />
<br />
What I wanted some assistance with is, when I change the properties on a printer within the print server i.e. Colour to Black and White, it won't actually apply the settings to my test client notebook that is signed on as a regular AD user.<br />
<br />
I have tried removing and re-adding the printer but it still shows Colour as the default even though on the print server its set to B&amp;W.<br />
<br />
Can anyone help with this? Haven't had this issue in the past under traditional Server 2003 / physical server environments.<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Print Server not applying default settings to PC's

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the Microsoft Vista codebase, is the last 32-bit server operating system released by Microsoft. It has a number of versions, including including Foundation, Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Web, HPC Server, Itanium and Storage; new features included server core installation and Hyper-V.

Windows Server 2008

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 7 is an operating system from Microsoft. Features include multi-touch support, a redesigned Windows Shell with a new taskbar, referred to as the Superbar, a home networking system called HomeGroup, and performance improvements.
