Allow users to install local printers

by gina . Updated 20 years, 3 months ago

My organization would like to selectively allow mobile users to install local printers and I am interested to hear if anyone else has implemented a configuration that works.

Our systems are running WinXP SP2. Users are Power Users on their systems. Systems are members of a domain (WinServ 2003/AD). We are not currently using Group Policies heavily, but that is an option.

I am looking for a very specific solution. The users must remain only Power Users. Preferably, the configuration would enable only local printer installation. It also must allow for parallel or USB printers to be installed. It must be applicable to specific users (or alternatively specific computers).

I am especially interested in hearing from others who have implemented this configuration or something similar and have made it work, but would also accept untested solutions that I can make work. Thanks.
