We are using Canon MFDs with Uniflow as the print server. There are a couple of settings that need to be saved in the default print profile that the factory defaults cause issues (A4 paper, 2-sided printing).
I use the CUPS interface to change the settings according to:
http://kb.mit.edu/confluence/display/mitcontrib/Change+the+default+print+settings+on+a+Mac
I have the plist file in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.print.custompresets.forprinter.[printername].plist
I am trying to figure out how to get it into the user Library on each laptop.
Here is how I tried to solve the problem:
- In the JAMF Admin app I added the printer to the JSS.
- I changed the name of the plist file so Composer will detect it as a changed file.
- Ran Compose and changed the name between the first and second scan.
- Cleared out most of the settings that had nothing to do with the printer.
- Created a DMG file from the results.
- Used Admin to load that to the distribution server.
- In the JSS I created a policy with the printer, added the drivers as a package and also added the DMG file with the FUT and FEU options checked.
- I made it available through Self Service.
When I ran it on the test laptop there were no errors, but the plist file is not in the Preferences directory.
Did I do something wrong? Is there a better way?
