+7So I made a printing preset to do single sided printing as highlighted in the screenshot below:
I found that the preferences lives in /Library/Preferences/com.apple.print.custompresets.plist
However when I package that plist up and try pushing it to other machines it doesn't give the target machine the printing preset for some reason. What am I missing here? Is there a better way to do this?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give!
+36Do you need to add killall cfprefsd to the push?
+7@donmontalvo Tried adding that under "Execute Command" in the Advanced tab of Remote but it didn't work unfortunately.
+36Might have better luck using defaults to write the values in the file, and follow it with killall cfprefsd.
Apple doesn't want us pushing plist files, if you post the content of the plist maybe we can get you set up with the right defaults commands.
defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.print.custompresets.plist
Then the PKG can use a postinstall script that runs the killall cfprefsd command.

So populate home directories with FUT/FEU when you deploy. Makes sense, as a per-user setting.
