The manage documents right do NOT include print rights. They were
designed for people who only manage print jobs but shouldn't be printing.
Kind of silly if you ask me, but I'm sure someone on this list will find
a justification for it, and I won't mention Dan by name ;)

This is to capture the Appletalk broadcast and stop it from showing up on
the Mac's chooser so that everything will print through the NT server,
using it as a print server rather then printing directly to the Appletalk
printer. In my experience it causes a lot of problems and I would
strongly advise against it.

Just make a group (or 2, I don't have NT here in front of me and you
might need to make 2) called printers/managers that icludes both the
print rights and the manage documents right, then add the students to
this (these) groups.
