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.
