| Data type | Range | Default value |
|---|---|---|
| REG_DWORD | (Not in registry) | 0 | 1 | 1 |
Determines whether the Add Printer wizard automatically publishes the computer's shared printers in Active Directory.
This entry stores the setting of the Automatically publish new printers in Active Directory Group Policy. Group Policy adds this entry to the registry with a value of 1 when you enable the Automatically publish new printers in Active Directory policy. If you disable the policy, Group Policy sets the value to 0. If you set the policy to Not configured, Group Policy deletes the entry from the registry and the system behaves as though the value is 1.
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| (Not in registry) | The policy is not configured. The Add Printer wizard automatically publishes all shared printers. |
| 0 | The policy is disabled. The Add Printer wizard does not automatically publish printers. However, you can publish shared printers manually. |
| 1 | The policy is enabled. The Add Printer wizard automatically publishes all shared printers. |
To change the value of this entry, use Group Policy. This entry corresponds to the Automatically publish new printers in Active Directory policy (Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Printers).
Note
The value of this entry is ignored when the value of PublishPrinters is 0.
