Print queue set up on Windows - forgotten task!

When using release stations or account selection popups it is recommended to secure the print queue so that users do not have permission to pause/resume documents in the queue. This allows PaperCut to have full control of documents without interference from users. To do this:

  1. Log onto the server hosting the printers as an Administrator.
  2. Open the printer configuration screen: Start → Printers
  3. Right-click a printer and select Properties.
  4. Select the Security tab.
  5. Select the CREATOR OWNER user and uncheck the Manage Documents permission.

  6. Press the OK button.
  7. Perform these steps for each of the monitored printers.
