In order to block specific printers on cardPresso, you need to first grant full user permissions to our software configuration files.
You can refer to the following document that explains how to do it.
After that, you must go to %programdata%\cardPresso or %localappdata%\cardPresso, depending on whether you have installed cardPresso for all users or a single user, respectively.
Then, you have to open the cardPresso.conf file with a Notepad tool and insert the following [BLOCKEDPRINTERS] section, as well as the respective parameters, at the end of the document:
(If the [BLOCKEDPRINTERS] section already exists there, please do not duplicate it and simply ensure that it presents the same structure that is being demonstrated below)
[BLOCKEDPRINTERS]
size=2
1\NAME=Microsoft Print to PDF
1\SHOWWARNING=false
1\LASTOPTION=true
2\NAME=Microsoft XPS Printer
2\SHOWWARNING=false
2\LASTOPTION=true
Where the [size] parameter is the total number of blocked printers.
The prefix [1\] is the index number of the blocked printer.
The [NAME] is the exact name of the target printer, as displayed in the system’s Devices and Printers list.
The [SHOWWARNING] indicates whether the blocked printer message should be prompted or not, when starting cardPresso.
We suggest setting it to false.
The [LASTOPTION] defines whether to show the blocked printer message again or save the response the next time.
We suggest setting it to true.
As you execute our software afterwards, its loading time should be relatively faster, but it will always depend on whether or not the printers you blocked were actually taking more than usual to respond to cardPresso before.
