By default in XP Pro "everyone" has only print permissions. This is
explained in the link below.

Print

The user can connect to a printer and send documents to the printer. By
default, the Print permission is assigned to all members of the Everyone
group.

Manage Printers

The user can perform the tasks associated with the Print permission and has
complete administrative control of the printer. The user can pause and
restart the printer, change spooler settings, share a printer, adjust
printer permissions, and change printer properties. By default, the Manage
Printers permission is assigned to members of the Administrators and Power
Users groups.

By default, members of the Administrators and Power Users groups have full
access, which means that the users are assigned the Print, Manage Documents,
and Manage Printers permissions.

Manage Documents

The user can pause, resume, restart, cancel, and rearrange the order of
documents submitted by all other users. The user cannot, however, send
documents to the printer or control the status of the printer. By default,
the Manage Documents permission is assigned to members of the Creator Owner
group.

When a user is assigned the Manage Documents permission, the user cannot
access existing documents currently waiting to print. The permission will
only apply to documents sent to the printer after the permission is assigned
to the user.
