Guest Krish Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 RE: print dialog box Hi, This particular that you are trying to apply is not possible. Let me tell you why is it so. In any application you see the menu bars, these menus and linked with a particular dll file and we will not be able to disable to in the application level. Same way in the printer properties dialogue box is also linked to such a dll which also intiates other options in the print command so if play with that dll it effect the whole printing and be a worse case. i hope i have answered your question please let me know if you have any question pertaining to this "אורן" wrote: > when printing form any application the printer dialog box apeare so the user > can select a printer. how can i disable the printer properties button in that > box so the user wont be able to see and/or make any change to the printer > properties? > > thanks, > > Oren R.
Guest Oren R. Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 RE: print dialog box Hi Krish, Thanks for the answer, I'd like to explain the need and way. users are working and connecting to a TS2003 environment. most users need to select a printer from the list (according the print job) during work. my problem is a security (and desterbing) issue. Some of these printers have special settings and even access the files on the server (like several pdf and/or images printers) I want my users to be able to select a printer using the dialog box but denay access to the properties of these printers (unless they have the right permissions). Granting these users the options to change settings in the printers properties is a BIG problem (some of them are playing with these setting and I have to restore them) and consumes uneeded tech calls.
