I'm just wondering if there is a way to re-read the preferences for a user without logging out and back in.

In particular, I've removed a plist file for a user for printer preferences

 

Try running the command 

sudo killall cfprefsd

from terminal. That will kill the preference daemon and it will restart, which should force to re-read the preferences files. 

Thanks @Tribruin - did try that but it doesn't seem to do anything for the printing presets.  Until I do the reboot or logout/logon but then again if I do that I don't have to

sudo killall cfprefsd
