Lock Shared Profile to Printer

Scroll Prev Top Next More

Locking a shared profile to a printer restricts that printer to only that profile, perfect for when a base set of options needs to be used by all users. Once you have created a shared profile as shown in Create a Shared Profile, this profile can then be locked to a printer. Only shared profiles can be locked to a printer.

NOTE: Locking a profile to a printer is an action that requires administrative level permissions. See Printer Management and User Permissions for details on which actions you can do and how to run the TIFF Image Printer Dashboard as an administrator to perform this task.
