Prevent the user from printing documents.
Disable printing
You can disable the print dialog from being shown to users. This can be
useful if you are giving temporary access to a user or you do not want the
user to print to network printers.
This feature will only work in applications which support it! Not all
GNOME and third party applications have this feature enabled. These changes
will have no effect on applications which do not support this feature.
Disable printing
-
Create the key file
/etc/dconf/db/local.d/00-printing to provide
information for the local database.
/etc/dconf/db/local.d/00-printing
# Specify the dconf path
[org/gnome/desktop/lockdown]
# Prevent applications from printing
disable-printing=true
-
To prevent the user from overriding these settings, create the file
/etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks/printing with the following
content:
/etc/dconf/db/local.db/locks/printing
# Lock printing settings
/org/gnome/desktop/lockdown/disable-printing
