Designating a Default Printer

When you use the Remote Printer Management (RPM) feature to designate a printer for automatic installation on each user workstation, you can also designate that printer to be the default for users in the same context (container). This way, the user never has to install or configure that printer or designate it as the default. Instead, a configured default printer is installed automatically on each workstation.

The assignments made through the RPM are limited to the specific container. They do not flow down to subcontainers.

Even though you designate a printer as the default, users may specify a different default printer if they wish.
