Print Server Permissions

I've setup a Print Server on Windows 2003. I would like to give a group of
folks access to this server in order to add and maintain the printers. I am
having a little trouble finding out what rights I need to give them. I've
added a group to the Print Operators group with no luck.

So, my question is: Is there something I need to add a group of users to in
order to give them rights to manage the printers? I basically want to give
them full rights to the printer area but not give them admin rights to the
box.

Thanks!

Hello Tim,

At least they need to be Power users on the local machine, except you do
more configuration settings..

See the posting from "Nick Gu" for Power users:

And here about the option with being normal user with additional permissions:
