excellant, I love it, can you give me a better example so I don't mess things
up? One for test and then one for all printer objects on a server. Sorry to
ask but I don't have much time to dedicate to this, wish it was 2008 server.
Note: this needs to be done on a cluster as well as a dozen or so standalone
servers.

I have some good news and bad news
first the good news
setprinter.exe in the Windows resource kit to to set all the printers on a
machine with specific permissions. Change the settings on one printer,
then view the settings, then change them for all the printers on the
server.
setprinter -examples 3
Used to set print queue security. Note: Security settings can only be set
as a whole. No
support is provided for partial modifications.
To see current settings:
SetPrinter -show PrinterName 3
To change security settings (see "Security Descriptor String Format" in
MSDN or SDKdocs for details):
*** WARNING: this could make the print queue inaccessable and require the
use of a
registry editor to fix ***
SetPrinter PrinterName 3
"pSecurityDescriptor=O:BAG:DUD:(A;CIIO;RC;;;CO)(A;OIIO;GA;;;CO)(A;;SWRC;;;WD)(A;CIIO;GX;;;WD)(A;;L
CSWSDRCWDWO;;;BA)(A;OICIIO;GA;;;BA)(A;;LCSWSDRCWDWO;;;PU)(A;OICIIO;GA;;;PU)"
to change this for all printers on the server
SetPrinter "" 3
"pSecurityDescriptor=YOUR_SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR_FROM_BASE_CONFIG
now the bad news
the setting will need to be updated for each new printer
but I have some good news
Server 2008 + supports changing the default printer security

I was told in general questions to post this question here:
I have an existing print cluster with hundreds of printers on a
Win2003R2, I
need to create a new group (or edit Power Users group) and give them
Manage
Documents ONLY, the 4 default groups do not give me what I need. How can
I do
this without touching each and every print object as well as make it the
default for new printer objects?
