Five people in Accounting have the need to print checks on a network computer. No one else should have access to this printer. What is the best way to set this up?
Include the printer as an object in Active Directory Users and Groups, create a security group of those users who can print to that printer, then give them exclusive rights to print.
Set up a subnet on the corporate switch for the port that is attached to the printer. Give the printer an IP address on that subnet, then set up routes on the computers of the users who will print to that printer.
Setup a new resource domain, add those users to that need to print to that printer and the printer in Active Directory Users and Groups, then create a one way forest-to-forest trust in Active Directory Domains and Trusts to allow only those users to print to that printer.
Make sure that the printer can be reached by name on the network. In Active Directory Group Policy Manager create a group policy that hides the printer name for all users except for the group in Accounting.
