Making Printers Available to Users
To give users access to printers, you first need to set up a printer list. Then, you can allow
specific users or groups to use printers in that list. You can also make printers available to
computers. A user’s final list of printers is a combination of printers available to the user, the
group selected at login, and the computer being used.
To create a printer list for users:
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.
4
Select a user, group, or computer account in the account list, then click the Printing
preference icon.
5
Set the management setting to Always. This setting applies to all Printing preference options.
6
Click Printer List.
7
The Available Printers list is created from the list of available network printers in the Print
Center application.
Select a printer in the Available Printers list, then click “Add to List” to make that printer
available in the User’s Printer List.
If the printer you want doesn’t appear in the Available Printers list, click Open Print Center
and add the printer to Print Center’s printer list.
8
Click Apply Now.
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
user name and password in order to add new printers. You can also remove this privilege
outright.
To restrict access to the printer list:
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.
4
Select a user, group, or computer account in the account list, then click the Printing
preference icon.
5
Set the management setting to Always. This setting applies to all Printing preference options.
