Restricted access still domain user able to change shared printer prop Options

[zillah]

Hi

Within Active Directory environment (win2003 server) I have got 11 domains users.

A new network printer Samsung CLX-6210FX installed on the server 2003 and shared

On the server right click Samsung Printer > Properties > Security tab for the group “Everyone “ set as below

Although “ Everyone “ group has been given permission for print only , why would a domain user still be able to change the color as in the snap shot (for a client PC) below

whether to print color or not is probably considered a document option when the printer is setup to provide color and b/w. Try setting up a seperate "virtual" printer for this device on the server , and configure it so that it does not offer a color option.

yes, 2 printers in ad for the same physical is the answer.

call one b&w samsung
call the other color samsung

in the b&w one, general tab, printing preferences, output color - choose b&w.
likewise for the color one, color.

create a color group, add users to the color group

in color samsung security, add the color group, but no one else. (leave the defaults such as print & server operators, domain admins, creator owner)

let us know how it works out.

I had already setup 2x different printers on the server.

One with color settings, and one with B&W settings.

I named those printers accordingly, and shared them.

Now on the color share...instead of sharing to everyone via active directory, I shared only to the accounts that I wish to allow to use it (my case two accounts).

Now my question why would a domain users that have only black and white installed be able to change the color ? That means there is no restriction , that means all users are able to to print in color and this is not what I am looking for
