Win2K WS restricted users adding printer

by jacklinamo . Updated 23 years, 4 months ago

I have a request for some users who work from home or from the road to attach a local printer to their workstation. By default, these users are restricted users.
Microsoft’s technote Q297780 states that the user must be added to the local Power User group AND be granted the right to add/delete a printer.
Is it possible to create a local group that would grant a restricted user enough rights to add/delete a printer short of allowing them to install software to the local drive? Does printer installation require full rights to the C: drive and registry?
