We are testing Win 2K Pro, and ideally would like to make it so an average user (domain user) can add a netware printer without an administrator actually coming to their desk. There is no difficulty adding a printer from an NT box, but from Novell we get the error "you do not have sufficient control of your machine to connect to this printer." Is this possible without making the user a power user?

We decided to use Novell's NDPS printing to get the printers delivered to the desktops. This works about the same as the standard NT install (If not better)

Give it a try, You may need to reinstall the Client32 Ver 4.8 software.

Good Luck

NDPS client in the 4.8 Client install is needed to give you the functionality. It is due to Windows 2000 Professional restriuctifng Network Registry setting to the Administrator only. (Check the IP address settings for a Power User - they are grayed out). Once assigned the work fine.

Our work around was to build the box with the user account as an Admin, then after it was finished, change the user to either Standard or Restricted.
