@LAH3385 said in Printer GPOs:
set secondary GPO to update default printer to whatever area they reside at.
How do you do this? is it reliable? I have never had good luck getting default printers consistently set correctly.
You could do a WMI filter for subnets.. but yeah it's not worth it. Users like changing them an a GPO will force them back.

More specifically, I was meaning what GPO setting was he using to specify the default, because I have a continuous problems making it stick in general.
One thing I dread with getting Windows 10 deployed because of the stupid "last printer as default" thing in 1511.

While I see what you are saying - at least it's a solution. There isn't a GPO for the other Reg hack listed here.

6 of one. It accomplishes what you wanted without having to go to each system and do it manually. Is it a full-on GPO setting? No. Will it work? Probably.
