Windows programming for printers configuration.

Dear all,

I work for a big company. We have total 22000 computers in the entire Data Center and 50 printers.

The procedure is like if user dont have admin access in his computer he cannot install printer in his system. Then he will raise a request for printer access. We Computers and Communication department have to take care of that.

We have found a solution for that. Change some registry entries and user can add the printers even without admin rights.

What my proposal is is it possible to make the entire process automated? I want to create an Intranet Portal with all the printers listed and if the user clicks on the respective printer link that should automatically install the printer in his computer irrespective of admin rights.

We have one print sever. OS windows server 2008,

Please suggest
1. Is it possible?
2. If possible what is the programming language?
3. Advantages and Disadvantages?

Also, please suggest the best way of automation.

Thanks,
Venkat
