Setting Configuration Locks

4
Assign the configuration properties you want for print jobs.
For specific information about these tabs, see
page 78.
If you want to lock certain configuration properties so that workstation
users cannot modify them, see
5
Click OK in the Printer Configuration dialog box.
6
Click OK in the NDPS Printer Details dialog box.
Your changes will not be saved until you have done this.
Properties of the Default Printer Configuration can be locked by the
administrator to be nonconfigurable; that is, they cannot be modified or
overridden by the user. Locked properties can be either of the following:
Maximum limits. Certain properties, those that specify limits, are always
locked: Maximum Copies, Maximum Priority, and Retain Job No Longer
Than. Even if the Manager does not specify a limit for these properties,
they are grayed out and inaccessible to users who are modifying their own
configurations.
These properties relate to a range in which the maximum value in that
range is specified. For example, if the default configuration has a locked
property limiting the maximum number of copies of a job that can be
printed to five, any number of copies up to five is allowed, but a job
calling for 10 copies will be rejected.
Individual locked properties. Many properties are tied to a specific
setting. For example, you can lock the priority of jobs to be printed using
this configuration, or designate a specific banner page that must be used
when jobs are submitted.
Once a default configuration property has been locked, it will be locked for all
jobs submitted to that printer and for all new configurations created for that
printer as well, whether that configuration has been created with NetWare
Administrator or by a workstation user when creating a new configuration for
an installed printer.
Any job submitted to an old configuration must conform to the new locked
property or the job will be rejected.
