  6. Change the settings as desired and be sure to Apply

Be sure to Refresh your settings!

Before the new settings will apply using ScrewDrivers, you will need to refresh the printer from either the ScrewDrivers Endpoint Client

or ScrewDrivers Administration

Once the query or refresh is complete, you are ready to test in a new session on the server.

Options unique to ScrewDrivers Endpoint Client

There are 2 options for saving printer settings on the endpoint client machine

  1. The default option is to Cache to the registry. This is the most common option.

  2. A lesser used option is to dynamically query the printer settings each time a session is started. Click this radio button to enable.

  3. Click the Query Printers button to query and cache the current printers and save to the registry. If using option 2, you can skip this option.
