Re: Deploying Printers via GPO

Second that hotfix. I had a lot of problems with item-level targeting until
I installed it. I forgot I had to use it :-) Time for some documentation

RE: Deploying Printers via GPO

[James Hill]

I'm using GPP and security groups on Win 7 with no issues.  Gotchas when it was 
implemented:-

- Turning on the policies already mentioned to allow point and print to work 
correctly without prompting etc.
- Suitable drivers available on the print server
- Installation of this hotfix http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976399/en-au

Bonnie, I think you're right, going from memory I think the problem I came to

Some of the links I had for this project are below.  I was hoping one of these 
would solve my problem, but what I am seeing is that when a new user logs into 
a Windows 7 computer the GPP printers just don't show up.  Although in every

Re: Deploying Printers via GPO

[James Rankin]

I had a 2008 R2 XenApp environment with a 2008 R2 x64 print server and it
was still fairly haphazard using GPP to deploy them. I tended to find all
the issues were driver-related at the end of the day. To quote Andy McNab of
the SAS - "check and test, check and test, then check and test again".

RE: Deploying Printers via GPO

[Miller Bonnie L .]

Yeah, when planning to possibly go to 7 this year, we realized printing and 
drivers were going to be a big issue, hence the migration at the end of the 
school year.

Saw this on one of the questions--I wonder if this would work for you?

Bonnie, I think you're right, going from memory I think the problem I
came to was the fact that we still have Windows 2003 print server with
no plans to upgrade it in the near future.

Some of the links I had for this project are below.  I was hoping one
of these would solve my problem, but what I am seeing is that when a
new user logs into a Windows 7 computer the GPP printers just don't
show up.  Although in every case if an admin were to install them
prior to the user login the when the user logs in they do show up
immediately.  There is no error in the log file, and no error to the

the problem only affects new users to new machines and is quickly
solved by an admin login it's been difficult to really trace.  I'm
just holding off on Windows 7 in departments where I push printers.
Not the best solution but we are understaffed!  ;)

RE: Deploying Printers via GPO

[Miller Bonnie L .]

And to possibly answer my own post, I did a quick google and am mostly seeing 
stuff about driver compatibility being the problem.  For example, adding Win7 
boxen when your print server is still WS03, then it can't load drivers so the 
GPP appears to not work.

We just  completed our print server migration to 2008 R2 last 
spring, and have both XP and 7 machines loading drivers from there, both x86 
and x64.  I only have one application that is still having a major issue, which 
is Filemaker Pro combined with  the HP universal drivers.

RE: Deploying Printers via GPO

If you come up with the article, please post.  This could be a huge problem for 
us implementing W7 for student labs.  Don't think we've tried it yet.

I moved all our network printers to GPP with security groups as
described above and love it!  although now that we have started to
deploy Windows 7 I find that it doesn't work on Windows 7.  I don't
have the article handy that explains why, but a word of caution to
test your newly created GPP on some Windows 7 boxes before you go hog

Use loopback policy processing on your computers OU, deploy the Group Policy 
Preferences printers list as a user config applied to the computers OU, set the 
default printer through that, and target it to the required users.

Make sure you set the GPO with the point-and-print restrictions as well, so it 
doesn't hang when popping up the box to install the driver if there isn't a

Re: Deploying Printers via GPO

It's the GPO that allows Vista and above to automatically install the
drivers when they are not present. Otherwise it hangs at the GPO
application.

I've just changed jobs so can't dig out the exact GPO setting, sorry!

RE: Deploying Printers via GPO

[James Hill]

I use AD security groups with the printer name and whether it is default.   So 
a group name might be PRINTER1 - Default.  The computer accounts that need 
printer 1 as the default are put in that group.

Then use a user GPP that checks if the computer is a member of that group to 
map the printer.

Subject: Deploying Printers via GPO

Good afternoon all,
Currently in a 08 domain with all XP workstations SP3 and GPO 
extensions installed.  I need to deploy printers based on the machine and not 
the user.  I see I can deploy printers to computers through a GPO, BUT you 
can't set the default printer that way.  It looks like I can deploy the 
printers to the user, then use 'item-level targeting' so it applies only when 
users logon to computers in certain OU's.   Is there a better way to skin this 
cat?

Should I make a printer policy per OU, or make 1 global one with all the 
printers and assign them with the item-level targeting?

Thanks all!!

There is a GPO to allow drivers to install automatically on Vista and above.  
Otherwise it will prompt/not work.

Use loopback policy processing on your computers OU, deploy the Group Policy

default printer through that, and target it to the required users.

Make sure you set the GPO with the point-and-print restrictions as well, so it
