HPUPD Printer (driver) defaults
Once the printer driver, model, communications, and features are set correctly, then you can select printer default settings, which have to be set in the correct place. First, on the Advanced Tab, we do not change any of these settings except: for GoPrint-managed printers. as in the SCIC, turn off "Enable advanced printing features". (For all printers not managed by GoPrint, leave this on for extra functionality.) Now, from the Advanced tab, choose the Printing Defaults button. The dialog boxes you see here from here on are driver-specific; for the HPUPD, you see 8 tabs. Choose the Printing Shortcuts tab. You can choose duplex in the Print on both sides: textbox: choose Yes, flip over. It is appropriate to set duplex as the default for all SCIC printers, and for any other printer whose Comments textbox on the General tab ends with a notation that this printer should be set to duplex by default. (That choice was made by the printer operator.) Right under that, make sure the Paper type: textbox is Unspecified; anything else will cause unwanted prompts for different papers.

On all Canon MFDs, we are using the latest Canon PS (PS = PostScript) driver, with its ability to dynamically detect the printer's features using Bi-Directional communication (via SNMP). Therefore, first detect the current settings: on the Device Settings tab, choose the Get Device Status button at the bottom. You will see the immediate communication with the device; after you acknowledge the OK button, all the options on this tab will be up-to-date.
If a printer is Offline (turned off or disconnected from the network), Bi-Di communication is not going to work and so printer features and defaults cannot be set correctly. You have to get the printer back online and seen by the server before you can continue. If a duplexer or tray is not being detected correctly, it's usually a physical problem: check that the duplexing unit or tray is installed and seated correctly. If a duplexer cannot be detected correctly, then the device options must be set manually. You can see a list of the installed options on the PostScript config page, described here .
CC5051 Printer (driver) defaults
Once the printer driver, model, communications, and features are set correctly, then you can select printer default settings, which have to be set in the correct place. First, on the Advanced Tab, we do not change any of these settings except: for GoPrint-managed printers. as in the SCIC, turn off "Enable advanced printing features". (For all printers not managed by GoPrint, leave this on for extra functionality.) Now, from the Advanced tab, choose the Printing Defaults button. The dialog boxes you see here from here on are driver-specific; for the CC5051, you see 6 tabs.
Choose the Finishing tab. You have the option to change the duplex default: under Print Style:, choose 2-sided Printing. It is appropriate to set duplex as the default for all SCIC printers, and for any other printer whose Comments textbox on the General tab ends with a notation that this printer should be set to duplex by default. (That choice was made by the printer operator.)
For all Canon MFDs, there will be dual queues: a BLDGRoom-CC5051 queue for b&w, and a BLDGRoom-Color-CC5051 queue for color printing. You set this in the Printing Defaults on the Color tab, where Color Mode must be set to Black and White for the default-b&w queue.
