Konica Minolta Printer Driver defaulting to 2-Sided (needs to be 1-sided)

[CommodoreS]

I am having issues with Konica Minolta Printers\Photocopiers defaulting to 2-sided on the driver.

 

I am using latest windows 10 PCL6 drivers, installing on the server and sharing out to machines via GPO under Users (User Config>Preferences>Control Panel Settings>Printers) as a shared printer from the server share.

 

I have set it as 1-sided on the driver installed on the server, but the machines are still pulling the driver down as 2-sided.

 

Is there any way to make it so the machines get this as 1-sided without having to change it for each user on each machine manually?

Yer, this is default from Konica. As far as I remember, you need to change a setting on the machine itself as well as the driver!

We just change ours on the server?

 

Printer properties - Advanced - Printing Defaults

 

We did have an issue a while back that was failing to pull these settings through but i can't remember what the solution was! - Konica support was helpful though.

No matter what settings are on the server driver, the machines are pulling the driver down with default settings as 2-sided.

Do other setting pull through? such as changing paper tray or auto color? Edited September 14, 2017 by ataylor

Not sure if this helps at all.

 

Edit - I think my original issue was the "Share My Tab" checkbox was unticked.
