Changing Sharing Preferences for Remote Login

Setting Printer Preferences

You can set the default printer for your client computers so that they all have the same default and configured printer. There are several ways to set up printer preferences for a client computer. If you have a computer whose printer setup is correct, you can use Remote Desktop to copy the necessary configuration files to the client computers. If you don’t have a configured computer available, you can use the command-line tools in Mac OS X to set the printer preference.

Setting the printer preference via Remote Desktop involves using the Copy Items task. See “Copying from Administrator to Clients” on page 108 for more information.
