## Update: 12:44 PT — more VLAN20 printers (dining/chef/medtech), workgroup machines, machine rename, GPO planning doc
Continued the VLAN 20 printer migration with several **workgroup** (not-domain-joined) machines, where the clean approach is a **direct-IP local printer installed as SYSTEM (machine-wide / all users)** — no `\\CS-SERVER` share, no domain auth, no point-and-print prompt.
- **Dining Room Manager** (DESKTOP-MD6UQI3, WORKGROUP, user `dining manager` / Alyssa): set up direct-IP `Dining Room Manager - Canon MF743CDW` -> 10.0.20.228 (UFR II driver `Canon Generic Plus UFR II V250`, already present), machine-wide, default. Removed stale `Kitchen Admin` USB printer (per Howard). Initially misnamed it "Kitchen -" -> renamed to "Dining Room Manager -" (Howard: the kitchen printer is a separate device with the chefs; this is her own-room printer).
- **Chef's Office** (CHEF-PC, WORKGROUP): set up direct-IP `Chef Office - Brother MFC-9330CDW` -> 10.0.20.236 (driver `Brother MFC-9330CDW Printer`), machine-wide / all users (Howard: machine still needs to be domain-joined). LEFT the existing USB `Chef Printer` in place and LEFT it as the chef's default — verified per-user defaults via registry: real user `JD Martin` still defaults to USB `Chef Printer` (the "default = Chef Office" seen post-install was only SYSTEM's context, not a user). So JD Martin = chef on CHEF-PC.
- **Memory Care front desk** (MEMRECEPT-PC, WORKGROUP, user `memfrtdesk`): identified + marked in the GPO doc. Printer = `MCReception` Epson ET-5800 @ 10.0.20.78. Currently only has the Epson via OLD vendor/WSD ports (`EP833571:ET-5800 SERIES`), not the static .78. NOT set up yet (Howard asked to mark it down for the GPO; setup TBD).
- **Memory Care MedTech Brother MFC-L8900CDW @ 10.0.20.74** set up direct-IP machine-wide on BOTH the memcare box and DESKTOP-LPOPV30 (user `karen rossini`); removed the OLD connections on the retired IP 192.168.2.53 (+ a stale WSD `Med Tech` on the memcare box). On LPOPV30 the old one was Karen's default -> set the NEW printer as her default. Memcare box default left as iR-ADV.
- **Machine rename:** RECEPTIONIST-PC (the Memory Care box, "memory care" user, S/N MJ0KQH4R, agent 57f19e17) shares its hostname with the front-desk RECEPTIONIST-PC box and was hard to tell apart -> `Rename-Computer -NewName MEMCARE-STATION -Force` STAGED (applies on next reboot; not forced, user active). The OTHER RECEPTIONIST-PC (frontdesk user, S/N MJ0KQHNP) is the real front desk.
- **GPO planning doc created:** `clients/cascades-tucson/docs/printer-gpo-map.md` — running printer->machine->user->IP->driver map for the eventual printer GPO, including the required Point-and-Print policy layer, the per-room/per-user assignments, the UFR II driver requirement for Canon MF741/743, and TODOs (add to GPO + map to domain accounts once the workgroup machines are domain-joined; repoint `CSC - Life Enrichment Printers` GPO to the new share).
**Decisions/notes this update:**
- Workgroup machines get direct-IP printers now; switch to GPO-deployed `\\CS-SERVER\<share>` once domain-joined.
- A SYSTEM-context `Get-CimInstance Win32_Printer .Default` reports SYSTEM's default, NOT the logged-on user's — read per-user defaults from `HKU\<sid>\...\Windows\Device` to see the real user default.
- Building the direct-IP printers used `Add-PrinterPort`/`Add-Printer` (SYSTEM) so they're machine-wide; per-user default changes done via `WScript.Network.SetDefaultPrinter` in the user session.
**Problem:** on the memcare box the spooler went unreachable (`0x800706ba`) right at the test-print step after add+remove; recovered with `Restart-Service Spooler -Force`, re-verified the new printer (Normal) and re-sent the test.
**Pending after this update:**
- Reboot MEMCARE-STATION (memcare box) when convenient to apply the rename.
- Set up the Memory Care front-desk Epson ET-5800 (10.0.20.78) on MEMRECEPT-PC if desired (currently only marked down).
- Confirm dining/chef/medtech test pages printed (Howard verifying at the printers).
- All workgroup machines (DESKTOP-MD6UQI3, CHEF-PC, MEMCARE-STATION, MEMRECEPT-PC, DESKTOP-LPOPV30): domain-join + GPO migration still pending.
New IPs/printers this update: Dining Canon MF743CDW 10.0.20.228; Chef Brother MFC-9330CDW 10.0.20.236; MedTech Brother MFC-L8900CDW 10.0.20.74; MemCare front desk Epson ET-5800 10.0.20.78 (not yet set up).
