3.1 Printer permissions

You can set the permissions in the Security tab of a printer's Properties dialog to control who can print and manage printing.

The enhanced features for printers require communication in both directions between the printer and the user. By default, a user account without administration rights does not have the necessary permissions for this kind of communication.

To allow a user to use the enhanced features, you must grant the user both Print and Manage Printers permissions for the printer. These settings are available on the Security tab of the printer Properties dialog within Windows.

For example, you can use an existing domain group or create a new domain group, grant this group the Print and Manage Printers permissions for the printer, then assign this group to the Windows users who need to use the enhanced features of the printer.
