We have the printers locked down so about all the end user can do is connect to them and print (they have no localadmin rights). However, the users that travel need to be able to install printers to their laptops. How can we open the ability for them to add printers when they travel, but not when they are connected to the network?

what network environment are you in? In a Novell environment Zen can be used to impliment policies for the users in conjunction with IPrint.

Create on each laptop a local user profile so that they can use it when they are out. Make this user be a part of the power users so that they can instal printers.
When they connect to the network they use their network profile - so the problem is solved.
