printer permission, documents management

hi folks.
I got 2 networked XP boxes: Clone and XP.
Clone is the print server. XP is a "print client".
both PCs are in the same workgroup environment.
The problem is that a user account (named shadowman724) on XP can not cancel his own print documents. I checked that he has the "print" print permission. I do not want to give him a higher print permission.
any ideas?

Since you are in a workgroup...do you have a security tab in your printer's properties? If not, you need to disable Simple File Sharing on your printer:

In Printers and Faxes, select folder options | view tab | clear "Use Simple File Sharing" | Click OK

You should now be able to allow just "print" permission for that user.

He already has that print permission. But he can not cancel his documents in the print queue.
