Fix Recommendation

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

Check Contents

Open "Printers & scanners" in "Settings".

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

For each printer:

Select the printer and "Manage".

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.
