People,

I have a Windows 2000 domain with several Windows 2000 members servers that
have printers installed locally. I want to be able to set-up an account that
has full administrative access to the printers but doesn't have domain or
local machine administrator privileges.

I have given this account printer operators and given the user full control
over the printers, however, there are still 2 tasks that this user cannot
do:

1) When setting up a new printer, the option to set-up a Local printer is
greyed out - users can only install network printers.

2) When logging on to one member server as an administrator and opening
the printer folder, if I enter \\servername\printers in the address bar I
can administer the printers installed locally on other servers. How can I
give permissions for a non-administrator to do this?

Thanks in advance,

Paul.
 
I've sorted it now - all I needed to do was use the Power Users group local
to each Windows 2000 machine (doh!). I've added the relevant security group
in using GPO.

Thanks for looking,
Paul.
