    [Misc] Printer driver defaults before installing

    Good morning all!

    I'm setting up a KM color machine and I have several workstations that I need to setup.

    I was looking for a way of setting up the driver defaults (namely bw instead of color) - the Ricoh drivers allow(ed?) you to modify a XML file (.rcf extention) in order to do that.

    In that way I could just install the modified driver and the computer would already be configured with the desired defaults.

    Is there any way to do it on the KM drivers?

    Thank you!

          Thank you very much. It's somewhat limited, but offloads some of the work.

          Cheers!

              And... no. It's shite - Created a package that should install a driver set to BW and single-sided, and it just ignores it. And doesn't let me set any of the advanced options (like privante print).

                  KM have a software called driver packaging utility.

                      I think he asked about KyoMita not KonMin. Besides I'm not impressed by Konica softwares most of them are mediocre compared to overall solid hardware.

                              I would also be interested in this. I know about the driver distributer but it's very limited as far as setting defaults.
