I actually do not know. My best suggestion is to try it. Make sure to test
from an account that is NOT administrator.
Some thoughts:
As a normal user, you might only have access to set your personal settings.
When changing the global settings (level 8) it will change the "global"
settings on your local machine (I think), but it might also be that the
global settings are changed on the server (the machine where the printer is
attached) globally. Also there might be a difference depending on if the
global settings are set from a local administrator or domain
administrator....

You are welcome.
