The problem is that in the settings of the printer on the cups server i define it to print just in black and white, but when users print a job, that job is with the settings that the user have defined, so if the user defined to print with colors the job is printed with colors but should be printed in black and white only. How can i make the printer print jobs only in black and white through cups server?
