Fix Recommendation

Configure the permissions on shared printers to restrict standard users to only have Print permissions.

Check Contents

Open "Devices and Printers".

If there are no printers configured, this is NA. (Exclude Microsoft Print to PDF and Microsoft XPS Document Writer, which do not support sharing.)

For each printer:

Right-click on the printer.

Select "Printer Properties".

Select the "Sharing" tab.

If "Share this printer" is checked, select the "Security" tab.

If any standard user accounts or groups have permissions other than "Print", this is a finding.

The default is for the "Everyone" group to be given "Print" permission.

"All APPLICATION PACKAGES" and "CREATOR OWNER" are not standard user accounts.
