Has anyone an idea, how to force users to print b/w on a color printer. We are in the process to deploy color printers to some of our offices
where they
use centos 5.5 as their OS. They need the printers to print some
advertisement
material. But for everything else, they don't need it. And because of the
costs
of the color printing we would like to force them to use B/W where not explicitly necessary. Is there a way to force a printer driver to be just
B/W
even if it is a color printer. So i could install a second color printer
which
would only be available to a special print user.

I know what google says, but i don't know what to do with it. This sounds like some kind of rocket science to me.
The answer from Dale sounds more doable to me, and i have to test it.
