Power User issues

Hi,

I have an issue where our users are unable to add local printer drivers even though they are added to the local power users admin group.

Is there a setting that we need to change on the group access or is this something that has to be changed locally on the laptop? We are running win2k

Many thanks for your help.

Richard,

Check out this previous PAQ'd article

https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/20877348/power-users-need-printer-drivers.html

The following registry key was mentioned

check
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Providers\LanMan Print Services\ServersAddPrintDrivers
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1=restrict this operation to Administrators and Print Operators
0=doesn't

I'll have to test and get back to you.

Thanks
Mike

One second....what error message they get when they try to add printers ? Is it something like "Operation has been cacncelled due to......need to contact Administrator"

Are you using Group Policy on network ?

Let me know.

Thanks

yes we are using group policy, the error is along the lines of: you do not have sufficient rights to your machine to complete this task....
