Windows 7 users having trouble when installing drivers.

Our WIN7 users are encountering issues when installing printer drivers or other peripherial drivers.  This happens because they are not a local admin of their PC.  

Besides giving them local admin right, are there any work around?  Our users includes the ones who travels meaning from time to time, they detach their laptops the domain.

Please advise.  

Many thanks.

As mentioned at the beginning, we have a lot of users who travel and bring their computer with them.  Group policy will not work when they do not login to the domain.

Thanks.

I tried out steps in this article: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc725772(printer).aspx to enter the GUID of a test printer into local group policy but still get prompted when I install the same printer when login as a non-admin.

Any idea?
