how can I forbid the user to use print function. Is there any suggestions? I find it's no use to forbid printer like forbid a floppy.thanks.

How do you mean ? If your app doesn't offer printing, it can't print. Or do you mean print screen ?

In my program I want to control other programs to use printer,I want to forbit the other programs' print function.that's what I want.Would you give me some advices?

That's going to be fairly complex, you'd have to work out what printers were attached and find a way to block communication on those ports. I don't like your chances Why would you do such a thing ?

Thanks for your reply,I had some code from internet to forbid such as usb,floppy,cdrom.but I have not find a way to forbid printer or forbid print function. The aim of the program is that I have to write it for my leader required it ,that is a reason.
