I currently have an issue where the print que is getting stuck on a central print server (windows server 2008). Using the "Clear all documents" function does not clear it and gets stuck too. I need non-admin users to be able to clear the print cue from there work stations.

I have tried using the following winforms program which I created and allows a user to stop the print spooler, delete printer files in the "C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS folder" and then start the print spooler but this functionality requires the program to be runs as an administrator, how can I allow my normal users to execute this program without giving them admin privileges?

Or is there another way I can allow normal user to clear the print que on the server?

Imports System.ServiceProcess
Public Class Form1
    Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        ClearJammedPrinter()
    End Sub
    Public Sub ClearJammedPrinter()
        Dim tspTimeOut As TimeSpan = New TimeSpan(0, 0, 5)
        Dim controllerStatus As ServiceControllerStatus = ServiceController1.Status

        Try

            If ServiceController1.Status <> ServiceProcess.ServiceControllerStatus.Stopped Then
                ServiceController1.Stop()
            End If

            Try
                ServiceController1.WaitForStatus(ServiceProcess.ServiceControllerStatus.Stopped, tspTimeOut)
            Catch
                Throw New Exception("The controller could not be stopped")
            End Try

            Dim strSpoolerFolder As String = "C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS"

            Dim s As String
            For Each s In System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(strSpoolerFolder)
                System.IO.File.Delete(s)
            Next s

        Catch ex As Exception
            MsgBox(ex.Message)
        Finally
            Try

                Select Case controllerStatus
                    Case ServiceControllerStatus.Running
                        If ServiceController1.Status <> ServiceControllerStatus.Running Then ServiceController1.Start()
                    Case ServiceControllerStatus.Stopped
                        If ServiceController1.Status <> ServiceControllerStatus.Stopped Then ServiceController1.Stop()
                End Select

                ServiceController1.WaitForStatus(controllerStatus, tspTimeOut)
            Catch
                MsgBox(String.Format("{0}{1}", "The print spooler service could not be returned to its original setting and is currently: ", ServiceController1.Status))
            End Try
        End Try
    End Sub
