Print Server Settings

[Guest Jet]

Windows Server 2003 - How do I prevent users from changing the printer

setting from black and white to color? I need to assign users print

permissions on the server. They can not change any of the settings on the

printer properties page but they do have the ability to click on Printing

Preferences when using Word or Excel and change from black and white to

color.

Hi,

 

You just have to give Permission in the Security Tab of the Printer as -

Print - Allow. If there are other permissions given like Manage Printers etc.

then remove it. This is sufficient for users to print as well to modify the

printing preferences while printing.

Hi,

 

The only permission they have is "Print". However, users still have the

ability to change printing preferences while printing. I would like to

prevent them from changing from black and white to color. How do I

accomplish this but I would like to allow user to change other settings in

Printing Preferences other then the color settings.

Hello

 

Check if the users who can change belong to any Administrative or Power

Users Group. If they are member of any of these groups, then they will have

full rights.
