Improperly configured share permissions on printers can permit the addition of unauthorized print devices on the network. Windows shares are a means by which files, folders, printers, and other resources can be published for network users to remotely access. Regular users cannot create shares on their local machines; only Administrators and Power Users have that ability.NOTE: Nessus has not performed this check. Please review the benchmark to ensure target compliance.
Solution
Configure the permissions on locally shared printers to meet the minimum requirements.See Also
