Hey all, got a situation where a customer uses label printers at multiple sites extensively as well as the typical MFP devices. I've tried to use Printix to deploy these and had varying degree of success, the MFP's work fine, no issues but for the label printers (Zebra & TCS) I can setup the config, capture it to printix and manually push this config to endpoints using the "update print queue on computers" button (this works), however if a new user logs in, the settings go back to the defaults. I can manually push the update print queue but this is manual and Printix have said that they have no way of automating this, nor even an API we could try and commumicate with. The upshot of this is users login and get the default settings which makes a mess of the printing. So i'm looking for advice on how I could push this out across 3 different sites, happy to use Intune, printix (if it can be configured properly) or another method suggested. Thanks in advance

Hi Fit_Peace8326, thanks for explaining the issue. As you have already found the right switches (capturing the driver profile and updating it on all computers), we need to try approaching this differently. Background - A printer queue is installed and writes entries in the HKLM registry hive. User based configurations (some printing presets) are written in HKCU. As this is a part of the registry that is tied in with the actual user, it can only exist if that user has signed in, otherwise that part doesn´t exist in the registry. That´s why we state that Printix doesn´t save printing preferences. I will take this feedback to our product ownership. No promises, but maybe some method on managing this could get looked in to for future versions. Would it be possible to deploy these specific registry settings through Intune or similar? Just a thought. Please feel free to PM me if you like, happy to tee up a session as well. KR
