As of version 14.38, the server version of Black Ice Printer Drivers includes the Document Converter Configuration Manager (DCCM) utility to help Administrators configure the Printer Driver settings for specific user account(s) or user group(s) quickly and easily.

By using the Document Converter Configuration Manager, the Administrators can configure every aspect of the Printing Preferences, Disable any Tab(s) on the user interface or setup conversion profiles for any user(s) or user group(s) on Windows Server, in the Active Directory environment or on Citrix systems. With the DCCM, the administrator can create custom configuration or lock down the user interface for individual user(s), without logging into their system and manually configure the system.
