PDF Server YAFPC-Appliance Forum

Hi!
Is it possible to alter the default settings of the “Point&Print” driver before it is installed on the client?
e.g. papersize from "Letter" to "A4"?

Thanks
C.K.

Yes, you can. Please refer to pages 21ff in the manual. You need to be in the "priner admin" list and can change default settings then.

Thank you for your quick reply.
I tried your solution, but it did not work out for me.
This is how I tried:

1. Added the user to the Printer Admin list (then restart)
2. Opened “Printers and Fax” folder on the YAFPC-Applience from the Windows Client
3. Opened the PDF-Printer and changed the properties
4. Installed the PDF-Printer on the client
5. Result, the default settings where as before

As a remark, I am  not a Printer Admin within our Domain. Could the Domain settings override the YAFPC-Settings?

Thanks again
C.K.

>> 3. Opened the PDF-Printer and changed the properties

You need to change the _default_ properties of the printer. This button s only enabled if you are printer admin.
See dialog on:

No, domain settings take no affect.

This was the hint I needed, works fine.

Thanks
