Refer to this article if you have replaced a NUC or changed printer name around, or moved printers around. 



The goal is to have an environment where any Doctor or Nurse can log into any of the Doctor/Nurse/Treatment rooms and they print to that room's printer. 


The general setup is as follows:

  • Dedicated printer in each room
  • Dedicated NUC in each room
  • The appropriate printer is configured as default on the NUC in the same room via GPO.
  • BP configured with Printer = 'Default Printer' and the trays configured appropriately.


BP -> Setup -> Printers configured as follows:



GPOs

GPO 'Disable Windows Default Printer management' configured to turn off Windows management of default printers . 

GPO  'Install Ngak Min Printer' configured to conditionally set the matching printers as default for each room:

CYHNUC011 - Nurse 1 Printer

CYHNUC016 - Nurse 2 Printer

CYHNUC013 - Doctors

CYHNYC014 - Treatment Rm. 

 

So this means that whoever logs onto eg NUC016 will automatically have the Nurse 2 printer set as default. 



Changes

If a NUC was swapped out of eg Nurse 2 room, or some other changes where NUC/Printer relationship was different to above table:

  1. Edit the 'Install Ngak Min Printers' GPO
  2. Click on the 'Order' column to sort ascending
  3. Select the printer with the update action (which will be towards to bottom - it is important the order of 'update' runs after 'create' actions).


4. Click on Common tab


5. Click on Targeting button


6. Change the Computer name to the new name.
