Off-the-shelf software rarely has the option to disable printing - in fact,
people go to great efforts to enable it! So it goes with Watermark - it is
print-enabled, albeit very slow (and it cannot print to a Postscript printer
over a Novell network print server, by the way!). The feasibility of printing
on a dot-matrix or home printer is really remote, as it would be as painful
as a tooth-extraction.
However, if you can program, you can tell watermark to hide it's toolbar.
That means, no printing!
Watermark Pro is a good program in that that it is a DDE and OLE server.
It has commands available via OLE automation and one of them is "Show
toolbar" and another command defines which buttons to display on this
toolbar. The print button will not be amongst them.
If you can design a simple interface in Visual BAsic, Delphi, or any
language that supports OLE.Automation then Watermark is for you.
Best regards
