Does anyone have a way of packaging up printer defaults and sending them via a policy? What I'm trying to do is force duplexing on all of our supported printers, but I am unable to do this at the printer level. It would be preferable if this were pushed out with the printer via Casper, but I could also create a smart group based on each printer and just push out the specific settings there as well.

Has anyone been able to do this?

You and me both! =)


I believe if you set those prefs before capturing the printer with Casper
Admin, it will push those prefs as part of the package. I'm pretty sure
someone from Jamf informed me of this but I could be wrong. Otherwise you
could edit your PPD in BBEdit or similar app to make duplexing the default. We did that here, forcing defaults for grayscale and duplexing.
