== Changing Printer Ownership ==
After a printer has been installed the owner, by default, is SYSTEM. Ownership may be taken either by an administrator or by a user or group which has been assigned ''Take ownership'' permission for the printer.
To assign ownership to another user or group, open the properties dialog for the printer, select the ''Security'' tab and then click on Advanced. In the advanced settings screen, select the ''Owner'' tab. This screen will list the current owner, together with a list of users and group to which ownership may be changed. If the intended new owner is not listed in the ''Change owner to:'' list, click on the ''Other users or groups...'' button to access the ''Select User or Group'' dialog box. Enter the name of a user or group and click on the ''Check Names'' button. With the correct name selected, click on ''OK'' to return to the list of owners. Select the desired owner from the list and click on ''Apply'' to commit the change of ownership.
