After the printer is installed with point -n- print, the user gets
whatever the default options on the server were.
The user can indeed then change the _local_ printing defaults, which do
not effect the global server settings.
I'll e-mail you my config files if you like...

Dear John,
let me ask you a question concerning printing and point and print.
Are your normal users able to change and store the document defaults,
and if so, why? ;-)
If I got to document defaults or the printer properties, everything is
grayed out, allthough the user is a local administrator of my NT box.
You haven't incidentally experienced similar problems, have you?
Best regards.
