I apologize for not receiving your question, Larry. Are you using GPO in your organization to manage printers.
Please visit the link below. It will show you how to Managing Printers Using Group Policy. http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Managing-Printers-Gr oup-Policy-Part2.html The link will take you to the 2nd part of the initial article. Within it, there is a link to the first part. I hope it helps. -Shariff -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Larry Wahlers Sent: Thursday, March 23, 2006 11:13 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Manage printers?

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. -- Larry Wahlers Concordia Technologies The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] direct office line: (314) 996-1876 > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Larry Wahlers > Sent: Tuesday, March 21, 2006 10:56 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [ActiveDir] Manage printers? > > Hello, colleagues.
