I repeat my question from sept. 29th as it probably got dropped due tue community restart:
I'm looking for a way to disable the color mode option in the plot dialog through the .pltcfg, as we want to create them to be either only for color print, or monochrome. Users should not be able to change the color mode, but in .pltcfg I can only set it as a default value. (I know that I can disable print preferences and disable to edit the printer driver, but the option is right there in the plot gui and I have no way of disabling it.)
alternativly, I'd like to know if there is a printing accounting variable which would enable us to check on the color mode, just like there is a ms_pltscale which sets the current plot scale.
Rob, I have confirmed there is no way to disable the color mode in the Print dialog. In fact, there we do not offer a way to disable most individual controls on the dialog. In addition, there is no print accounting variable for the color mode.

Rob, I am not sure if there is a way to do this... let me see what I can find out...
