HOW TO: Delegate Security for a Printer in Windows XP

This article describes how to delegate security for a printer in Microsoft Windows XP. You are not able to delegate print operator security using Directory Services. Printer security is stored locally on the print server.

To Delegate Security For a Printer

1. Click Start, click Control Panel, click Printers and Other Hardware, and then click Printers and Faxes.
2. Right-click the printer and click Properties.
3. Click the Security tab, and then add accounts with the appropriate security levels.

NOTE: The initial release of the Windows 2000 Delegation Wizard has settings that include "Manage Printers." These settings have been removed in the Windows XP Delegation Wizard.
