PDF Server YAFPC-Appliance Forum

I've just discovered a bug in version 5 related to the higher default printer DPI (we were using version 4 without issue).

Graphic DPI is now defaulting to 4000dpi and from one particular program we use to produce documents it simply prints a blank page at that resolution. Other applications print OK still.  Dropping DPI down to 2400dpi for each user for each printer driver has solved it for that program (although I told users to now use 1200dpi to limit file sizes).

It would be nice to be able to set printer defaults like this (and also page sizes*) from within YAFPC rather than on each users printer settings.

*for others, page size default size can currently be achieved by creating a blank PDF of the desired page size and setting it as the letterhead background.

Hope this helps someone

Hi Steve,

there is a way to setup printer defaults for all users and printers without the need to touch all workstations in your network:
1. Make the account (username) you are using as admin a "Printer Admin" (see "Admin Settings" screen).
2. Open the "Printers and Faxes" share on YAFPC-Appliance from a Windows machine when logged on with this username.
3. Right click a printer to be setup and chose "Properties".
4. Click the "Advanced" tab and then the "Printing Defaults" button (these are only accessible for printer admins).
5. In the following screen chose "Enhanced".
The settings you make there are the default values for this printer that take effect for all users. These settings are only overwritten by individual settings on a client machine (if there are any).
