How to stop my 4yr-old from printing...

Hi there,
My 4yr old son, loves our Mac's. I setup his own profile that he logs into with his own password, etc. I've locked down his profile so he can't mess anything up, but I can't seem to stop him from printing. How can I disable all printing just for him? He mainly does it in Safari as that's the only app he has to run.
Thanks
-Paul

When it asked for the Name, I didn't know what to enter, so I entered what I thought was his ID, but can still print.
For the 'Set Allowed Users' page, you need to enter the short name in the 'Users:' column. You can then check the 'Prevent these users from printing' button and then press the 'Set Allowed Users' button.
You will then be prompted to enter the administrator user name and password for the changes to stick. This is most likely your account details. You can check the System Preferences > Accounts pane to check who is set as Admin.
You can then log out as the admin user and log in with the child's account. Now you should find that the selected printer is not present in their printers list.

    Anyone know how to stop the "activate" box from blocking usage of a perfectly legal copy of Ilisten? I want to help my dyslexic grandson and this box, including the activation code, keeps popping up, keeping me from using the software. I activated the program and did a few profile building sessions, now it pops up each time I start the program, blocking me from using it. Help sure would be appreciated.

    I looked at your post this morning and did not know enough to respond, other than to find out that links to iListen now go to newer, renamed software. Considering it's been nine hours with no response, I'm suspecting few people here have experience with that software. You could contact the current copmany that used to sell that package and see if they have any archived support info.
    BTW: please check you entry for "Mac OS" in your profile. It says iOS, which cannot run on an iMac. iOS is the system for phone and iPads but can't run on Mac computers. Do "About this Mac" from the Apple menu and see what it says about the OS version. Should look like this:
    If the "Processor" line says "Intel," you have a newer Mac than the old modles this forum covers; Intel iMac have their very own forum here:

  • How to stop the tab bar from automatically hiding itself?

    ive only found how to stop the address bar from disappearing and everyone with the tab problem seems to have posted this over a week ago and still hasnt been fixed yet if noone has a fix im out and done with firefox they can suck a fat one
    why add this feature! i can understand the address bar but not the tabs all you have to do to hide it was push the tab button again and its gone was that so fucking hard that you had ruin a perfectly fine browser

    Hello,
    In Firefox 23, as part of an effort to simplify the Firefox options set and facilitate future improvements to Firefox, the option to hide the tab bar was removed.
    Fortunately, this can easily be resolved if you desire the keep tabs hidden. You can install "[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/hide-tab-bar-with-one-tab/ Hide tab bar with one tab]", an extension hosted on Mozilla's add-ons site, which will restore the ability to hide the tab bar.
    Thank you and I hope this helps!

    How to stop the option key from changing my tools when I am trying to subtract from a selection?
    I'm running CS3 on Mac OS Leopard, and the automatic tool switching slows me down, but even preferences doesn't show a way to turn this off.
    Thanks for your help.

    With any marquee tool, JUST holding down the option key should not switch tools. You need to explain the problem much more carefully, It's completely impossible to tell from your description whats going wrong.
    automatic tool switching
    The only preference related to this, is to do with the SHIFT KEY - "use Shift key for tool switch".

    Make sure to quit all open applications before logging out.
    Your proflie indicates your Mac has v10.7.1 installed.
    If that is the case, updating your system software will help as far as functionaly as well as security.
    Install the OS X Lion Update 10.7.5 (Client Combo)

  • Anyone any advice on how to stop my mail "activity" from continuously caching? is this a problem? I have had inbox issues recently that are not resolved yet but I am not sure if they are related.

    Anyone any advice on how to stop my mail "activity" from continuously caching? is this a problem? I have had inbox issues recently that are not resolved yet but I am not sure if they are related.

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • How to stop safari on ios7 from remembering history?

    How to stop safari on ios7 from remembering history?
    I hate to continually delete my history. Is there a way to stop it or set it to delete it on its own every day?

    Hey Bigchins!
    I have an article here that can address your question for you. The feature you are looking for is called private browsing, and it is explained here:
    To enable or disable Private Browsing, turn Private Browsing on or off.
    Private Browsing in iOS 5 protects private information and blocks some websites from tracking your behavior. Safari doesn't remember the pages you visit, your search history, or your AutoFill information.
    Note: While Private Browsing is enabled, the Safari bars appear black or dark instead of blue or gray.

  • How do you scan a document from printer to convert to PDF?

    How do you scan a document from printer to convert to PDF?

    Have the scanner connected to the computer.
    Have the scanner software installed.
    Check the scanner manufacturer's website for the most recent / updated drivers and install same.
    Have Acrobat XI installed.
    While Acrobat XI can make use of Windows WIA drivers Acrobat "likes" TWAIN drivers best.
    So, if available, have the latest-greatest TWAIN.
    Acrobat can communicate with the scanner via the scanner software.
    An alternative --
    Scan directly to TIFF. Then use Acrobat to create PDF from the TIFF.
    Some scanners come with software to output to PDF directly; if present you could use that.
    Be well...

  • How do I return my old HP printer?

    I saw a reference to returning my old HP Printer, presumably for recycling.  How do I do this.  Are there recycling centers or authorized locations?

    You can return HP printers and equipment to Staples stores around the US, or they can be shipped via Fedex. To do the latter will require you to request a voucher from HP, then you can box it up and bring it to a FedEx drop-off point.
    In the top right corner of this page is a Search box. Enter "printer recycle program" to go to a page with information.
