| Is it possible to manage the security principals of printers through a GPO?
(i.e. print, manage printers, manage documents, etc.)
We are looking for something that will perfom *like* the system services
where you can set a service to start and set who has rights to start,stop,
or restart the service.

| Since those permissions are managed on the printer queue itself, I don't
know of a way to do that through GP, unless its something like a
command-line utility that you call from a script. Maybe someone else has
come across this.

| There is a setprinter.exe command line utility in the Server 2003
Resource Kit which can configure print queue permissions. Keep in mind
this is all via SDDL descriptors, so it is kind of cryptic, but very
possible to script out. You might want to read up
Windows 2008/Vista expose "GetSecurityDescriptor" and
"SetSecurityDescriptor" methods in the Win32_Printer class, but that
obviously won't do you any good if you're still on 2003/XP.
