Windows 10: Our mapped print queue from a print server keeps on capturing 'administrator' as the print...

Our mapped print queue from a print server keeps on capturing 'administrator' as the print job owner instead of the logged on user of the workstation.The workstation is domain joined. Please advise how print driver/OS to capture the logged on user as the job owner and not the administrator. Note: print driver is set by default which is to capture the logged on user.

Print Queue Personality Configuration

I've created many plot/print queues for the convenience of our users.

• Print queue personality is set on the Print Server
• Personality settings include preset - orientation, paper size (A, B C, D, E), color/B&W, etc.

With these preset personality settings, my users don't have to go through the print configuration steps for all the different types of documents they print.

They simply select the queue and print.

Some time a while ago, the personality settings for each print queue saved on my print server are no longer the default print queue setting on the users machine after they select the print queue.

Is there some way I can automatically "push" the print queue personality settings to every client who uses the queues?

Clients - W7 & W10

Print Server OS - Server 2012

Applications used - MS Office Suite, MicroStation, BentleyView, Bluebeam, G Technology Suite

Basic print server

Are you sure that Canon MP830 is even print server capable?

Also, you'll lose a lot of printer features by plugging it into a print server. It'll pretty much only be able to print.
