Re: passwording network printer

You can apply NTFS permissions to printers as you would any other object. Search your Windows 2000 help files for "printer permissions".

To use objects when you don't have specific permissions use impersonation.

"Windows NT allows one process to take on the security attributes of another through a technique called impersonation. For example, a server process typically impersonates a client process to complete a task involving objects to which the server does not normally have access."

Example:

net use x: \\ServerName\ShareName PASSWORD /user:DomainName\MaryJane
/savecred /persistent:yes

I have a simple question I am attempting to password a printer on a
win2000 machine so that only administrators can print and for any
other user to print from the local machine or another machine it will
require a username and password from a administrator to print is this
even possible?

Thanks,
