364 colour printing question

[Max]

Is it possible to set the c364e to only print in B/W without touching the printer driver setting? Any ideas much appreciated.

Thank you.

The easy way would be to use the monochrome driver (no color support in the quality tab). What is the end result you are looking for, there are authentication templates you could setup to lock out color and these work pretty well to control color costs. For instance, user authentication on, public user set to allow, configure public user for B&W only, driver should default to public user and even if they sent a color job, it would print in B&W. I know you said "w/o touching the driver", but unless you go with the monochrome version, you may have to do some slight tweaking. Much easier if the printer is a shared resource, once setup on server side correctly, then it's done. Emujo

The reason i ask is the IT support can be quite awkward. They said they have done it on the driver but I am not conviced. Thank you anyways.

Do you want to change the machine to b&w only? i had to do that before. Use custom panel utility, create and load new b&w profile. Set machine to stabilize for black priority. and disable your USB port for printing. And no color will leave the machine. no matter the printer driver used.

I have tried that. But You can still print to it in colour.

OK did this some time ago so cant remember all the steps. Setup account track with 1 user and activate public user then restrict color use. then setup the driver with the account track. but that is a lame way to do that. Use the mono driver. I had it but for the life of me can't find it. Try to use a B454 driver.

please get back to me on this
