I have users that log on to a domain on Windows 2k machines. I want to allow them to add printers without actually adding them as a user to the local machine. Is this possible and if so, how?

Try adding their domain user account to the Power User's group on the local computer.

Sorry, the question is how to do this without adding them to the local machine. I'm not sure if that is possible, thus the question. Thanks for the input though.

Answer 1 would work, but would require touching every Win2k machine.

Create a "PrinterAdmin" group with permissions to add printers and add the domain accounts to that group.
