Windows Server Platforms - Printer-to-Driver Mappings

When a KLPR printer (Athena print queue) is assigned via group policy, but the driver entry is left blank, the printer-installation script will look up the name of this Athena print queue in a list. If it cannot find the print queue name in the list, it will use a generic PostScript driver.

The relevant portion of the script is shown below. If you want to add an entry to this list and have successfully tested the driver and printer combination using KLPR, please let us know

# Default athena print queue-to-driver mapping. 
# Will be overridden if specified by group policy
my %DefaultDrivers = (
