TOPIC

    I have a network of several machines with At Ease installed, and several LaserWriters (using LaserWriter 8.4 or later) and Stylewriter 6500's. The users are able to change and save settings in the print dialog box (such as Colorsync and background printing settings), regardless of the security level for that user. Is there any way to prevent this from happening?


DISCUSSION

    A workaround for the Stylewriter 6500 is to:

      1. Log in to a workstation as an administrator.
      2. Go to the Finder.
      3. Get Info on the StyleWriter 6500 extension, check the 'Locked' checkbox.
      4. Log out.

    Locking the LaserWriter driver or the LaserWriter 8 Prefs will not work, the users will get an error when trying to print. Another workaround is to downgrade the LaserWriter software to 8.3.4, which is available on Apple Software Updates.
