→Configuring Printer Permissions
== Configuring Printer Permissions ==
Access to printers is controlled through the configuration of printer permissions. By default, a printer is accessible to all users on the local system, and if shared, all users elsewhere on the network. Printer permissions are divided into two categories, special permissions and standard permissions. before describing how to change the permissions on a printer it is first important to understand the meaning of each permission option.
The ''standard printer permissions'' are outlined in the following table:
<table border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" id="E3B" style="border-collapse: collapse; border-color:#cccccc; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; margin-bottom:20px">
<tr bgcolor="#cccccc" style="color:black" valign="top">
<th>Permission</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Print</td><td>Allows users and groups to send documents to the printer and to manage their own print jobs. Also includes the ''Read'' special permission allowing viewing, but not alteration, of printer permissions</td>
</tr>
<tr bgcolor="#e9e9e6">
<td>Manage Printers</td><td>Allows full management of the printer, including changing shared status, changing of permissions and properties, taking ownership of printers and print jobs and starting and stopping print jobs. Includes the ''Read'', ''Change'' and ''Take Ownership'' special permissions.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Manage Documents</td><td>Allows user and groups to manage print jobs but does not provide the ability to print. Permissions consist of pausing, restarting, resuming and reordering and canceling print jobs. Includes the ''Read'', ''Change'' and ''Take Ownership'' special permissions</td>
</tr>
