Manage Printer rights on print server without adding to PowerUsers or Administrators?

[hiding_elephant]

Is there a way to give Manage Printer permissions on a print server to
a user/group without adding them to the Power Users or Administrators
group?

I want a domain user to log on with just Domain User rights onto a
print server but give the user just enough permissions to Manage
Printers. I can easily just go into a printer on the print server and
add a user or group and give Manage Printer rights, but I have at least
200+ printers to manually do this on. Is there an easier way?

Thanks

Hiya,

I am having the same problem. I do not want to add the general support
staff to the Power Users group of the server just so they can manage
print queues but cannot find another way of achieving this. Were you
able to find a solution?

thanks

Use the Windows Resource Kit tool setprinter to change the security on all
the printers to included the specific group.
