Print permissions

Hi there!

We have a PC w/ W10 in a LAN network. That PC is used as a file-server for that particular office. There are two types of users. One that have total access and control of shared content. Other is someone that can access the files, but with a read-only permission.
My question is this, can I restrict print of the documents for the second group with a folder permission?

Thanks!

You can put that second group in its own OU and set a group policy where the users can't print.

This is not a Server environment, rather it is a Workgroup.

Thank you both for the information.

As John puts it, it's a Workgroup, not a Server enviroment.

If you really need to do this, you would have to install a small Server that holds the files and has the functions you need.

I have no idea why only one of the author-endorsed comments should be a solution. hdhondt, will you explain that, please?

I suggest split:

https:#a42424748
https:#a42424759
https:#a42424767

The reason is that each comment addresses properly the fact that, as the question was stated, print permissions in the workgroup cannot be done as asked.
