Setting printer permissions with Windows NT
If the PC to which the printer is attached has other users and runs the Windows NT operating system, set
permissions that:
• Allow users to use all features of the printer and driver, including messages. (Messages inform users when they
need to change the ribbon, load cards, and fix problems.)
• Prevent any access to the printer by unauthorized users.
1 From the Windows taskbar select Start, Settings, and then Printers. The Printers window appears.
2 Highlight the Smart Driver™ icon by clicking on it once.
3 From the menu bar, select File and then Properties. The Properties window for the Smart Driver™ appears.
4 Select the Security tab.
5 Click the Permissions button to open the Printer Permissions dialog box.
6 Select the Add button to open the Add Users and Groups dialog box.
7 Select the Show Users button.
8 From the Type of Access list, select the access:
— For a local user of a local printer or for a user of a directly networked printer:
— For a user connected to a directly networked printer, select Full Control.
— For a local user of a printer, select Full Control.
— For a user who should not print on the printer, select No Access.
— Other user permissions, such as the Print permission, are not supported.
— For a user of a shared printer:
— For a user of the printer on the PC connected to the printer, select Full Control. The user will be able to
see all messages. The user will also be able to perform other actions, such as deleting the printer driver.
(Other user permissions, such as the Print permission, are not supported for local users of the printer
driver.)
— For a user who should not print on the printer, select No Access.
— For a user connected through a network using Printer Sharing, select Print permission.
