How to prompt for password before printing???

[henderson2001mis]

I need to implement a password protected printing scenario for a group of users who share the same logon and password. I have a networked printer that is connected via a jet direct print server box. I need the ability to prompt the users for a password, but I don't want to give their user account the right to print. It is for school children who don't need to be able to print without the teacher's permission--who would come over and enter her credentials at the prompt.

Everything runs Windows 2000.

Thanks for the help!

If you right click on the printer and go to properties, there should be a security tab. Here you would want to take out the Everyone group, and just have the teacher and an admin group. Give both of them full control.

Other users should then be prompted for a valid username and password when they try to print or connect to the queue.
