Selecting domain users for Personal Printing
In the Personal Printing configuration, you also can find the domain users who print with Personal Printing, under Active Directory Users and Computers→ domain→ Users.
- If you click on a user here, the user configuration will open in Active Directory (AD), where you will find the register Personal Printing.
- First, select Enable Personal Printing for the nominated user.
Then, the authentication methods that you have previously set under server settings will be offered. If there is a method missing for a user, it must first be activated in the server settings. Only methods selected there are available here for the users.

Configuring multiple users simultaneously (all authentication methods)
Alternatively, you can configure multiple users at the same time from the command prompt. This is especially useful for a large number of users.
To do so, open the command line on the Personal Printing server as an administrator. Then specify the path where the files for Personal Printing have been saved.
For example:
C:\Program Files\Personal Printing
- Then enter the following to show the command line parameters for configuring multiple users:
rundll32 TPFMExt.dll UserConfig -help
- A window opens with all commands required to configure multiple users. Use a script to simultaneously configure multiple users.
