Update:   UE-V 2.1 SP1 adds new support for roaming settings:

Support Added for Roaming Network Printers

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt427461.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

UE-V 2.1 SP1 lets network printers roam between devices so that a user has access to their network printers when logged on to any device on the network. This includes roaming the printer that they set as the default.

Printer roaming in UE-V requires one of these scenarios:

• The print server can download the required driver when it roams to a new device.

• The driver for the roaming network printer is pre-installed on any device that needs to access that network printer.

• The printer driver can be obtained from Windows Update.

Note

The UE-V printer roaming feature does not roam printer settings or preferences, such as printing double-sided.

For previous versions of UE-V (i.e. pre-2.1 SP1), the following general guidelines apply:

Migrating printer settings is a common request for UE-V support.  While it is possible to replicate printer settings in some limited circumstances (for example, a VDI environment with a known set of printers that were always installed in the same location and could be guaranteed to never be modified), in general it is not recommended to migrate printer settings using UE-V. Replicating the HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Devices key will configure the default printer settings for a user, but it assumes that several conditions are true, none of which UE-V can guarantee:

 

  1. That all printer drivers are installed on all machines that a user will access.
  2. That the bitness (32 or 64) of the operating system will always be the same.
  3. That the printer is already installed on the local machine.
  4. That the user has access to the printer on the local machine.
  5. That you know the operating system of the local machine.
  6. That the name of the printer hasn't been modified for the local installation.
  7. If the device is unavailable, Windows will reset the default printer to one that is available on the next logon. Overwriting this key may prevent this from happening depending on the timing of the write.
  8. Terminal Servers have their own default printer settings.
  9. Location-aware default printer settings (per-network default printer settings) may be overwritten.
  10. Smart Default Printer setting is a separate registry value that affects the default printer setting when a new print queue is defined. Overwriting the Devices values may interfere with this setting as well.

 

With all of these limitations in mind, there are better technologies for migrating printer settings:

Local printers should be backed up and restored using PrintBRM - http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2009/10/09/windows-7-windows-server-2008-r2-printbrm.aspx

Printer settings migration is covered by USMT - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd560792(v=WS.10).aspx (Network printer mappings)

 

Restoring the HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Devices key from one machine to another is an untested solution, and our best guidance at this point is not to use this method for migrating printer settings.
