This may seem an unusual request! I have Word documents that need to
be viewable through our network but CANNOT be printed. Has anyone
ever had such a need?
Not AFAIK. Anything that can be displayed can be printed, even if it's just
a Print Screen. Basically, if you can see it you can print it.
I suppose some printer-side script could be used to intervene and prevent
any spooling to the printer based on something in the print-code, but I've
never heard of it being available; you might have to write the code
yourself.
IMO, if you don't want it printed, don't put it on a screen; what's the
difference, really? You would make the path only available on some
machines, and then take away the print abilities from those machines, but
.... that's not very foolproof.
