Printer Defaults - Via Registry

Legacy Poster

• 23. März 2016 10:33

I'd like to be able to import registry settings to set the desired default stock and media sense mode (transmissive) within a given user's profile (or alternatively do similar that affects all users).  I've got the requisite stock added via the Defaults.sds file.

Is it a case of importing the printer-named value under HKCU\Printers\DevModes2 and/or the one under DevModesPerUser?  I don't know the details of what these two keys do.

Thanks for any suggestions.

  Are you wanting to do this in a scripted way, rather than have the user manually import the SDS file into their printer driver instance?  If you want to do this in a scripted fashion then you could run a DAL (Driver Automation Layer - C:\Windows\ssdal.exe) command line via a user login script.  See the below example:

   

  C:\Windows\ssdal.exe settings import "C:\Seagull\NewDefaults.sds"
