Unless we make this a global parameter.  The problem with
"printer admin" is that is applies to 2 different things:
(1) a printer, (2) the print server.  The only way to enfore
a "printer admin" in situation #2 is to place the parameter in
the [global] section as a service default.

In APPLIANCE_HEAD, the printer admin is always defined in
[global].
