on the server. Since this is an LJ5, I am assuming the driver that is
shipped with the operating system. If it's not, no guarantee on which
directories it needs access to.

I think the gotcha is when the Create folder, Create Files gets changed from
default

winnt\system32\spool\Printers
User permissions
Transverse Folder
Read Attributes
Read Extended Attributes
Create Files
Create Folders

winnt\system32\spool\drivers
User Permissions
Transverse Folder
Read Attributes
Read Extended Attributes
Read Permissions
