Thanks guys for the info, I have set permissions and they are only working for the relevant users and restricted (prompt for credentials) for other users.

Hi all, <br />
<br />
A quick verification, I have a printer that I only wish for certain users to use. Within the security settings of the printer on the server it is shared from, within the security tab I have the following:<br />
<br />
Everyone<br />
Creator Owner<br />
Administrators<br />
Server Operators<br />
Print Operators<br />
<br />
Server is Windows 2008R2. <br />
<br />
I have changed this to: <br />
<br />
Creator Owner<br />
Administrators<br />
Server Operators<br />
Print Operators<br />
Users that need access<br />
<br />
Im a little confused about the Server Operators/Print Operators, are these both safe to remove as they have full permission? <br />
<br />
Or are they required<br />
<br />
Thanks

Restrict a printer so only selected users can connect and print to it?

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.
