12. Click the Security tab. Printers don't have share permissions; they have permissions only in
the Security tab, and they work similarly to NTFS permissions. Click the ACEs in the Group
or user names list box, and review the permissions for each one. Click Cancel , and close any
open windows.

Printer Permissions Access to printers is controlled much like access to folders and files.
However, there's no need to be concerned with permission inheritance on printers. Printers have
three standard permissions and six special permissions:
• Print —Allows users to connect to a printer and send print jobs to it. By default, the
Everyone special identity is assigned the Print permission.
• Manage printers —Includes everything in the Print permission plus administering all
aspects of the printer: pause and restart the printer, share the printer, change permissions,
and change printer properties. By default, the Administrators, Server Operators, and Print
Operators groups are assigned this permission along with the Print and Manage docu-
ments permissions.
• Manage documents —Allows users to manage all jobs in the print queue. By default, the
Administrators, Server Operators, and Print Operators groups and the Creator Owner
special identity are assigned this permission. Because Creator Owner is assigned this
permission, users can manage their own print jobs (pause, cancel, restart, and change
properties).

The special permissions include the three standard permissions as well as Read, Change, and
Take ownership permissions.
