Turn off easy print windows 7

For several similar printers this worked pretty well, but for many printers the exact driver was needed. The whole configuration is done via Group Policy Objects. As the settings are exactly the same as at Computer configuration I will describe the settings based on the Computer Configuration. I will describe later on when the user settings can come into play. The first setting is not really related to Easy Print, but is an important one. By default Client Printer Redirection is enabled, so no configuration changes are needed.

So, by default this setting would not be configured. If you want to override settings configured at a different level you could set this setting to disabled as policies have the highest priority. For example you can configure enable or disable Client Printer Redirection and some configuration settings on the Collection Set.

The second one is also not specific for Easy Print, but is usually overlooked. When Client Printers are detected and Client Printer Redirection is enabled, the printer defined as default on the client will also be set as the default client within the RDS session. When network printers are being used it may be the case that this behavior is not the way to go.

By enabling this policy the Client Printers will be redirected, but will not be set as the default printers. Users with many client printers can complicate matters and usually the default printer is enough for end-users.

By enabling this policy setting you can define that only the client printer that is set as default will be redirected into the session and the other printers are not redirected.

It really depends if this is the desired behavior in the organization. This setting is one of the ways to enable the Easy Printer functionality. By enabling Easy Print, printer driver will be used for all Client Printer Redirection that will be created. In normal situations this will make all Client Printers created using the Easy Print driver. I did not see a case that the driver could not be used. That this behavior can cause some issues is true as I will describe in the next paragraph.

By default the Easy Printer driver will not be used, so you should enable this policy if you would like to use Easy Print for all Client Printers. By default the Easy Print option is disabled, which is the same as configuring this setting with the Do nothing if one is not found.
