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

Yes. Secure Global Desktop allows users to select which printer they print to. This may not always be desirable.

To force users on Windows platforms to print only to their default client printer:

1. Either:
   • In Array Manager, click Printing properties.
   • In Object Manager, select the Printing panel for an organization, an organizational unit or a person object.

   Note The settings in Array Manager affect all users. The settings in Object Manager affect individual users.

2. From the Printing list, select Let users print to client's default printer.
3. Click Apply. The change only takes effect for new webtop sessions.

To force users on UNIX, Linux and Mac OS X platforms to print only to their default client printer, there must only be one entry in the [UNIX] section of either the global /opt/tarantella/etc/data/default.printerinfo.txt file or the user-specific $HOME/.tarantella/printerinfo.txt file. The default printer is the first printer listed in these files.

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