Can I force users to print only to their default client printer?

Yes. When printing from a Windows 2000/2003 or UNIX application server, Tarantella allows users to select a client printer. This may not always be desirable.

To force users to print only to their default client printer:

1. In Array Manager, click Array properties.
2. Select Let users print to client's default printer from the Printing dropdown list.
3. Click Apply.
   The change only takes effect for new webtop sessions.

For UNIX client users, the default printer is the first printer listed in the [UNIX] section of either the install_dir/etc/data/default.printerinfo.txt file or the user's $HOME/.tarantella/printerinfo.txt file

If Windows client users want to change their default printer so they can print to a different printer, they have to log out of Tarantella, change the default printer and then log in to Tarantella again.

Note Print jobs from Windows NT 3.51, Windows NT 4 or Windows (SCO Merge) application servers can only be printed to the client's default printer.
