Enforcing Grayscale print

hallstein · Jan 30, 2006

A dozen of my users prints powerpoint presentations each day. The
presentations are in color, but our printers are black and white.
However the setting Grayscale does not produce the same output as the
default (e.g. blue backgrounds are removed and it is less hungry on the
print toner).

I would like to enforce grayscale printing for Powerpoint, however I
cannot find any setting at "Custom Installation Wizard" or registry
change. Also, no option seem to be available inside Powerpoint, as this
setting is saved per printer?

I see that something is saved in a .PIP file ( C:\Documents and
Settings\hallstein\Application Data\Microsoft\Office\PowerP10.pip) when
I alter this per printer, but this is a binary file that I am not
allowed to tweak I guess-

So, anybody out there with the knowledge I obviously lack?

1. Open "Printing Preferences" by right-clicking on the printer, choose
Grayscale. Now (by default), the printer will print in Grayscale.
*Note: You need to do this with admin rights on the Print Server or the
PC the printer is attached to.

2. You also need to check the security of the printers and make sure
that those users are in a group that can only "Print" and not "Manage
Printers" or "Manage Documents"
