How to set the default printer settings for all remote desktop users in Windows 7?












0















I have a Windows 7 machine to which many LAN users access, to use some applications in Remote Desktop. That machine has a printer too. People use this PC also to print.



The problem is that when a person prints, it prints in colors. I'd like to set black and white as the default setting for all users.



How can I achieve this?

          After trial and error i adapted a solution for Windows server 2008 R2 that worked.



          The solution is go to
          Control panel / System and security / Admin Tools (translating from Italian so i hope it is good)



          Then on the right navigate in the tree to



          Print management/ Print servers/YOUR_PC/Printers


          and in the control panel choose the printer
          right click on it
          choose "Default print settings"
          and set the defaults.
