I did finally get it to work. I had to completely deleted the %user%/appdata/roaming/openils folder and let the client re-create it. What I don't get is why creating a new xul profile didn't work (adding the -P argument to the evergreen client shortcut). I created a new testing xul profile alongside the existing one initially, but the problem continued even when I was using that new profile. I would think that the only thing shared between different xul profiles is the appdata/roaming/openils/profiles.ini file, which seems pretty simple, not many options in there. Although maybe profiles created after the first one inherit settings from the original one?
I also tried deleting the windows user profile, but when I copied back the xul profile folder the problem continued. So I don't think it was something in the user profile. I couldn't see any evidence that firefox settings were used by the evergreen client in my testing, that was mentioned as something to try. I had no trouble using the silent print option after the printers were set correctly, but that might be a case of our workflow not needing other printers, whiles others do need to switch printers. Thanks for all the suggestions.

If so I learned the only way to get it to print correctly to it, is to ensure it is installed first and then install any other printers.

Even though I go into the workstation printer settings editor and set the correct printer as the default printer for the label context, whenever I press the print page button on the spine label preview and print page, it aways defaults to sending the print job to the windows default printer. When I look at the config files in the client profile directory, it looks like the different printer contexts are setup correctly. We are running eg 2.10.6 right now. Has anyone run into this before? I about ready to delete the client profile and try setting it up again, but I thought I would ask first.
