Installed a printer - Group policy to map this printer only for 4 staff members.

[genesis]

Hi

 

We have Windows 2012 DC and a Windows 2012 printer server and Windows 7 workstations. We use Papercut print management software and have created a virtual print release Que. This means user can print and release the prints on any of the printers.

On the users OU I have set a GPO to map printers and the printers get mapped to all the users.

 

Now I have installed another printer called “Confidental Printer” and I want this printer to get mapped only to 4 staff members.

Do I need to create any printing security groups? Or Please let me know if there is a different way of achieving this and grateful if you post me tutorials.

Thanks

Put 4 users in a sub out and then apply the GPO to that our set the security on that print server to allow them to print and manage prints and bobs your uncle

The other was is to create a security group for confidential print and put these staff in this group now create GPO and set only confidential print to have read to this GPO. Link this policy to users out. Be careful as you don't want all users to get printer so remove right to read this policy except confidential print

For my understanding ,

1) I create a security group called "Confidental Print" -

2) add all the 4 users to this security group.

3)Create a GPO called "SLT Print" - add the shared printer.

Please post me as how to set the "Confidential Print" security group to only give read permission to this GPO - and all other users to remove the right to read this policy

Edit the Group Policy object (GPO) to which you want to apply security filtering.

 

In the results pane, on theScopetab, clickAdd.

 

In theEnter the object name to selectbox, type the name of the group, user, or computer that you want to add to the security filter. ClickOK

 

Don't forget to remove any other groups like authenticated users

You could use group policy preferences and item level targeting to map the printer to the four users.

 

No need to create a secondary GPO by doing this.

You add the security group in this bit...
