We most certainly do not have admin rights to our systems. In addition, every Friday night (at a minimum) our systems are remotely rebooted, refreshed, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Does anyone know of a &#8220;global work-around&#8221; to alter the printer driver, even if if it has to be done after every log in? Perhaps a command line entry or something like that? We do have access to the command window via cmd, but we can only do things that don&#8217;t require admin rights.<\/p>\n<p>Any suggestions would be most welcome.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p align=\"right\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"><i>message edited by DerbyDad03<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":15},"question-category":[55],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-7917","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-programming"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/7917","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7917"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7917"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=7917"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=7917"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
