Universal printer

Post by fakebrains » Wed Mar 20, 2019 10:37 pm

Does anyone know if you can make the universal printer the default. It seems that it always defaults on the universal printer redirect instead of the universal printer. I like the pdf generation and want to make that the default. is there anyway to do this on a server level that will affect all users ?

I would like to do this on a per server basis

Thanks

Hello,

Click on the highlighted item in the admin tool / printer to set the Universal Printer as default.

I think this is only happening when connecting via HTML5.
Universal printer is set to default normally but when connecting to HTML5, it sets the default printer as Universal printer (redirect). I prefer the PDF generation rather than trying to print to the redirect printer.

Hello,

according to next FAQ
https://terminalserviceplus.freshdesk.c ... 4000038440
just remove %DEFAULT% from printer tag and restart html5 server in admin tool gui to take this change effect.
Like on example before
PRINTERS=PS:%DEFAULT%%PRINTMENU%MS Publi*******
after
PRINTERS=PS:%PRINTMENU%MS Publi*******
New session should then stop to set default on simulated printer.

Modifying the bin file worked.
but after a reboot of the server the printers.bin file is back to normal.

I am having the exact same issue with my people. I just re-did this TSPlus Server from scratch. New Windows 10 Professional Server. On the server the GhostScript Universal printer is installed and it is set (and staying set) as the default (see screen shot). Yet when I log in as a user (from the desktop client) and open an Excel spreadsheet and go to print the Universal Printer is not set as the default and I have to select it every time I print. Why can't I get this Universal Printer to be the default for clients?

This is the second ticket I have opened with support. What is the point in "Set Universal Printer as Default" in the Admin Tool when it doesn't set it as the default? Once again I a not using the HTML5 client. I am using the .connect. Where are the docs on modifying the bin file?????

I just logged in to the web portal as the same user and opened the exact same spreadsheet. Via the web portal (which I am told is HTML5) the Universal Printer is the default. So why isn't it the default when I use the .connect ???????????
