Preventing Users From Modifying the Printer List
If you want to limit a user’s ability to modify a printer list, you can require an administrator’s

outright.

1
Open Workgroup Manager.
2
Use the At pop-up menu to find the directory domain that contains the account you want,
then click Preferences.
3
Click the lock and enter your user name and password.

preference icon.

options.

Printer list.”

Restricting Access to Printers Connected to a Computer
In some situations, you want only certain users to print to a printer connected directly to
their computers. For example, if you have a computer in a classroom with a printer attached,
you can reserve that printer for teachers only by making the teacher an administrator and
requiring an administrator’s user name and password to access the printer.
To restrict access to a printer connected to a specific computer:
1
Open Workgroup Manager.
2
Use the At pop-up menu to find the directory domain that contains the account you want,
then click Preferences.
