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