You're facing an issue where the printer is restricted to a single user account. This prevents you from managing it or deleting it. Here are some steps you can try:

1. **Check Group Membership**: Ensure the group that manages printers has access. You may need to add the appropriate group (e.g., "Printers" or "Print Spooler") to the user account.

2. **Change Account Type**: If possible, switch the account to a standard user account with full permissions.

3. **Restore Default Settings**: Reset the printer settings back to default using the printer's management interface or command-line tools.

4. **Contact Admin**: If you're unsure, reach out to your IT administrator for assistance.

Let me know if you need further guidance!

Consider changing your role as the owner. You might want to use the local admin account, as restricting access isn't feasible. Alternatively, you can remove it by uninstalling it, though some restrictions may remain.

I need to confirm your ownership and ensure this stays permanent. You mentioned you can't delete it, so let's secure it now.

Review the second column on your display. Look for the section titled "Owner: System Change" and search for your AD user name.
