Printer queue permissions

Hi,

Is it possible to remove the everyone read default permission and replace it
with Authenticated Users read permission on a local print queue?

If it is possible could somebody please give me a hint or two on how to do
it ?

Thanks in advance.

You will need the setprinter.exe utility from the Windows resource kit

level 3

set a printer with the security you want. View the security for that
printer, then apply the same security descriptor for a single printer or all
the printers on a system. This will work locally or targeting a remote
machine.

setprinter -examples 3

do something like this:
PRINTER_DEFAULTS pd;
pd.DesiredAccess=READ_CONTROL|WRITE_OWNER|WRITE_DA C;
OpenPrinter(
GetPrinter(,3
do something with the returned pSecurityDescriptor in PRINTER_INFO_3
SetPrinter(,3
