preventing computers from rediscovering printers every time you plug in the usb port
Posted on 2006-07-18
we have many laptops setup without the rights to install new software or devices, our users come into various offices and plug their laptops into several different printers using the usb port. Many times, the computer will find a new printer and try to install it and/or a new usb port. Since the users don't have rights to do that, it prevents them from using the printers. It could be a deskjet or a laser printer like the 4250 or 4300. Any suggestions would be welcome!
