Cause
In order for Desktop Authority to be able to set an auto-added printer as the client's default printer, the printer name and the share name must match exactly (case sensitive also).
-
Resolution
Rename the printer name or the share name so that they match exactly. Example: On your server there’s a printer called "HP4000 Accounting". It must be shared as "HP4000 Accounting". Alternatively, you could rename the printer to "HP4000AC" and share it as "HP4000AC".
