Changing Printer Default Settings

The default SafeQ TU Dublin printer package settings for colour output are set at Gray Scale (B&W).

Below is a bash command that can be run on a Mac to change the default printer setting to Auto Color output.

sudo lpadmin -p SafeQ0 -o SelectColor=Color

sudo killall -HUP cupsd

Run the above commands in Terminal. You may be prompted for your Mac administrator password.

Note: this will make colour printing the default for all print jobs from the Mac unless the user manually changes it at print time

(via File > Print > Printer Options > Quality > Gray Scale).
