Print RestrictionOne of our client want to control printing right to certain group in sharepoint. For certain documents user can download but cannot print, only administrator group can print. I wonder is there anyway to implement that feature. I came cross with information policy feature describe in this link http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms520161.aspx , still don't get the idea to control printing after download. Please advice me, thanks in advance.© 2009 Microsoft Corporation.

Actually users don't want to install anything on their machines. That's the problem for asking user to choose IRM. As far as I can understand all user need to install IRM client in their machine.Thu, 25 Jun 2009 09:53:33 Z2009-06-25T09:53:33Zhttp://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointecm/thread/1c330664-f6b0-4e12-96c1-34aca9f4d5a0#2494a1b0-3e03-4f41-b7c2-cb92bacd03b8http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointecm/thread/1c330664-f6b0-4e12-96c1-34aca9f4d5a0#2494a1b0-3e03-4f41-b7c2-cb92bacd03b8STAunghttp://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Profile/en-US/?user=STAungPrint RestrictionThanks I will look into it.Thu, 25 Jun 2009 09:55:33 Z2009-06-25T09:55:33Zhttp://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointecm/thread/1c330664-f6b0-4e12-96c1-34aca9f4d5a0#3639116e-8f7f-4329-b547-e0412ac14c2chttp://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointecm/thread/1c330664-f6b0-4e12-96c1-34aca9f4d5a0#3639116e-8f7f-4329-b547-e0412ac14c2cSTAunghttp://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Profile/en-US/?user=STAungPrint RestrictionIs there anyway to change the document attribute to non-printable?
