Restricting Access to Printer Properties

The options are stored in the Registry in the key:

A value set to 0x00000001 disables access; deleting the value or setting it to 0 enables access.

NoPrinterTabs - Hide General and Details Pages. If the value is set to 1, the pages are hidden on the printer Properties property sheet.

NoDeletePrinter - Disable Deletion of Printers. If the value is set to 1, the Delete Printer function is disabled.

NoAddPrinter - Disable Addition of Printers. If the value is set to 1, the Add Printer function is disabled.
