7.3 Installing Printer as the Default on Windows

When installing a printer on a Windows workstation from the iPrint Printer List Web Page, users can choose to set the printer they are installing as the default printer by selecting the Set Printer as Default check box in the Printer Is Not Installed dialog box. When this option is selected, the printer is installed and set as the default printer. When it is not selected, the printer is installed and no change is made to the default printer.

This feature gives you three settings for this behavior:

Set Printer as Default is automatically selected
Set Printer as Default is not selected
Hide the Set Printer as Default setting.

To modify this feature:

Edit iprint.js, located in the following directory:

/var/opt/novell/iprint/htdocs/scripts

Modify the var defTypeGbl = setting to one of the following:

Setting	Description
DEF_TYPE_OPTION_YES	Displays the Set as Default check box, which is selected.
DEF_TYPE_OPTION_NO	Displays the Set as Default check box, which is not selected.
DEF_TYPE_OPTION_NONE	Hides the Set as Default check box, which is not selected.

Save the file.

When the file is saved, the change is effective immediately.
