Is there a way to print the client copy with SSN masked and without the DO NOT MAIL watermark?

Unfortunately no.  If SSN's are masked there will be a watermark for DO NOT MAIL.  This was a change made a few years ago when certain practitioners would mail returns to the IRS with the SSN's masked.  This is the policy change to avoid that issue.

Thanks for the reply. I was afraid of that.

What happens when you replace the Watermark with a blank space?

It's a blank watermark. It only works once and does not get saved.
