Lockdown On Printer Changes

Is there a way to prevent the user from changing the printer specified for a document?  We are currently using BT 10.0 SR4.  We have many users using print station and occasionally someone changes the printer on a document and it messes everyone else up because the page size gets adjusted to something it shouldn't.

 

I guess we could prevent this through Security center but when I turn that on I have issues with users not being able to print even though they have permissions.  

 

Are there any other options?

  For BarTender 10.0 or before, there's no setting for that.

  Alternatively, use Batch Maker to create a batch (.btc file) for each document, Print Station doesn't show a print dialog for .btc file.

   

  From BarTender 10.1, There's such setting in Print Station (it applies all documents.) from Administer Menu > Security > Features to disable.

  Thanks Shotaro .... I didn't think to look in the print station settings.

   

  There is a setting in 10 that allows you to turn off the printer selection!  super happy now.
