Networking: A Beginner's Guide
On the Sharing tab, click the Share This Printer checkbox, and then assign the
printer a share name, by which the client computers will recognize the printer. At this
point, you can click the OK button because the default permissions for a shared printer
are for the Everyone group to be able to print to it. Alternatively, if you want to set
other permissions for a shared printer, use the Security tab of the printer's Properties
dialog box.
The groups assigned in the Security tab are the default assignments for a shared
printer, with the Administrators permissions shown. Three main permissions are
assigned to each entity: Print, Manage Printers, and Manage Documents. The Everyone
group has permission to print, but not to manage documents in the queue. However, a
special group called Creator Owner has permission to manage documents. This means
that the user who sent the print job automatically has permission to modify or delete
his own print job, but not others waiting in the queue.
