Konica Minolta C368 Color Print Restriction

[mearmi]

Hi All

Is there any easiest way to restrict Color prints for all the users (There are approx. 13 users) without login. They only should be able to print black.

And Manager can only print color.

Kindly advise

Thanks for your help

Choose the black option as default and hide the function by disabling dipsw

The B&W driver is a good idea, but you say the manager needs to print in color, so now you need 2 drivers..My advice would be to turn on user authenticaiton, allow the public user and give it rights to copy/print B&W, restrict color. Create on account and give mgr code to allow printing in color where needed..Without some form of authentication you leave the copier wide open for anyone with a small amount of knowledge to find a color driver and use it to print in color. Users would have seemless B&W printing (even if they choose color it will be processed B&W), walkup users cannot select color, and the one person that needs to print/copy in color can as needed. 1 driver to rule them all.

I would use also user authentification.
