This article was previously published under Q191208 SUMMARY
The Windows NT Server 4.0 Concepts and Planning documentation details how
assigning the Manage Documents security permission to a user for an
individual printer allows that user to manage all print jobs aimed at that
printer, regardless of who actually owns or created the particular print
job.
This is incorrect. Manage Documents only allows the user who submitted the
print job to change of the status of that print job. Users who only have
the Manage Documents security permission will receive an "Access Denied"
error message if they attempt to change the status of a print job that they
do not own.
A user must have the Full Control permission on the printer to allow
management of all print jobs aimed at that printer, regardless of
owner/creator.
