Using your packaging tool of choice, place all of the preset. For this example however, I’ll be using Preview.īring up the print menu (File > Print) and make sure you’re showing all available print options (Show Details). You can do this the same way in any other app’s print menu, like Microsoft Word. Start by opening something in the Mac’s Preview app or Safari. My assumption here is that you are ultimately deploying the produced presets as part of initial provisioning of a Mac, as users with preconfigured printer presets override system-level presets (more on that later). In this post, I go through the process of creating custom printer presets which can be deployed and made available to all users on machines you manage. Additionally, if you have machines in labs or other shared spaces you’ll want any printer settings to be applied at the machine level while still allowing users to add to these, if needed. And depending on the diversity of your printer fleet you may have certain options that you only want available for certain printers. While for most printers the only important options involve either printing in color or black and white, single or double-sided, copiers have many more options. On Mac, many of these options are buried in the print menu and for the average user this is tedious and overall not a great experience. One of these recent areas was configuring desired copier and printer settings.

Every year, I try to make as many positive additions to our Mac deployments as possible.
