Shariff, if you mean the "Print Operators" built-in group, it's not
there. What's worse, I can't even add it. When I go to add the group,
it's not in the list.

I can do that, and my testing shows this will work, but we have over 200
printers spread out over a half-dozen servers! Do I really have to add
this individual user to the security tab of each printer, and remember
to do the same every time we install another printer? I was hoping that
simply being a member of the built-in Print Operators group would
automagically give her the required privs to manage documents for all
printers in the domain. Isn't there some way to make that happen?

I could also simply make her a power user on each of the printservers,
but that's more privs than I'm willing to give!

Thanks, all, for your continued help.
