Hey guys I am attempting to add a printer to a windows profile that is locked down by GPO in windows 7 Pro. &nbsp; Anytime I try to click on add printer I get the following error.<br />
This operation has been cancelled to restrictions in effect on this computer. &nbsp;Please contact your system administrator.<br />
<br />
I thought I could be slick and give the domain login local admin rights hoping it would over ride this policy but it didnt. &nbsp; How can I get a printer added to this profile without having to mess around with GPO? &nbsp;I have the domain UN and PW and it works just fine obviously because there is no restriction on that profile. &nbsp; Do I need to give the domain login domain admin membership temporarily to fix it and then remove it again?
