When a printer is shared through a server it is installed on, it's called a server-based printer. The drawback of this is that server resources are spent on using the printer. The advantage is that advanced security settings are available in such a configuration.
Open the control panel and navigate to the printer you mean to configure security for. Right click on the printer, choose properties and security tab. The security settings are very much alike those available for files and folders, to asign permissions for users and groups. The access rights include print, manage printing and manage the printer itself.
It must be taken into account that every time you add a server-based printer, you should adjust the permissions, since the default settings may be unacceptable in many situations.
