Setting up printer preferences for a user group

User Printer Preferences configures printers that are associated with a group of users. This preference is used to determine the printer to use when a user prints a document.

About this task

For example, receiving office associates all its users to the HP LaserJet 5P located in the office.

The association of a printer to a station overrides the group preference of the specified user. The station is a static location where devices may be directly attached to a station.

It is recommended that User Printer Preferences be configured at the group level for easier administration.
