I am deploying a printer through Group Policy. The deployment of the printer works great. The problem I'm having is, I made same changes to the printer preferences from the server. I changed things like the page size, roll paper width, changed the orientation to landscape, etc (this is a plotter, btw). I would expect that these changes would be pushed out to the workstations but they're not.
I have tried deploying it a couple ways through group policy. I used the deployed printers. I also send it out as a replace in group policy. Neither of them send out the preferences.
I used to send it out through a logon script and I believe it did push out the settings that way. I would rather use the newer Group Policy settings to deploy printers rather than a logon script that doesn't always work.
Here is a screenshot of the preferences I'm talking about:
Anyone know how I can push these changes out?

Found out the answer:
Go to Printer Properties (not preferences). Click Advanced and then click Printing Defaults.
Make the changes there instead.
