Hi all,
I have a little problem here with centralized management of printer
permissions. We are trying to set up special management roles in our
company. The built-in group "Print Operators", which is available on
domain controllers would fit for one role, but we would have to
implement a group with similar permissions on member servers, too.
So here my questions:
1. Is there any way to implement the permissions of "Print Operators"
for a user defined group (via registry keys and permissions, NTFS
permissions, ...)?
2. Is it possible to change the default permissions on new printers?
3. Is there a way to change the permissions for existing printers
without manually changing them (would be some work with several
hundred printers... ;-)

Thanks is advance for any help!

Markus
