When a user without admin rights plug in a HP laserjet 3150 printer, the see the "Found New Hardware" popup message in the system tray.
The drivers are already installed via a software package I built with Netinstall packaging tool.
The printer shows up on their printer list; however, the found new hardware message appears.

How can I disable this message from appearing when a user without admin rights logon to the workstation. I need to do this without disabling the plug and play service.

this may not help you, but in my experience, you have to log in as admin on 2000 pro and do everything once, then let the user log in. or you could try looking in the registry
hklm software microsoft current version windowsnt run run once
