Hi,

Is there a way to prevent users from printing in color on a local printer? I
work for a library and the Epson C84 attached to the local computers can
print in color but we want to save money and have the printers print in just
black & white.

I have no idea whether or not it will work but if you refill ink cartridges,
try refilling the color one with black ink.... it was discussed a good while
back in alt.comp.periphs.printers as a suggestion!

Since I have no intention of only printing in black ink, I refused to try
it... but it does sound like it might work!
