Access Control

We currently use windows XP and everyone is a local admin, we are in the process of migrating to windows 7.  We want to restrict access from the users so they can't change the system config or install software.  But we want the users to be able to install any personal printer.  What is the best way to approach this problem???

You can use poweruser type or some of printer operators grop.

But for instaling printer there is no problem only if needs aditional sw. Becouse drivers can be add to system without rights

Right so that is sort of the issue we are running into, the user can technically install the print drivers so they could print/scan...  but they typically do this from home, they install the  CD and that include a bunch of other modules/software.  Currently on our win 7 systems the users don't have any right to install software.  so your suggesting putting the user in the power user or print operator to possibly resolve this issue?
Yes power user can instal sw but cant change configure system. Printer operator can only manage printers see more in description of group
