Allow users to add printers
- Thread starter De8o

Darren,
I know irritating isn't it - by design I'm afraid!!!
You'll have to make users who need to add printers manually
into the local admin or power users group.
However most recent plug and play printers should be installed automatically by the system on detection - however there are exceptions.
Cheers

Perfect time for a Print-server!
Create one on a machine, and share all of the printers, so when a user goes to "add", then "network printer"..all they have to do is select the one they'd like to connect to, and voila - the drivers will auto-install and everything.

If you have Novell as a print server, why are you needing rights for normal users? It should all be on a print server, or all users should be able to add their own.
If on NT-based systems, you can elevate the user's rights to add printers. By default, they have print capability. You can increase their permissions to "Full Control" of the printers they have, or give them rights to add/change printers in User Manager. Please let Tek-Tips members know their posts were helpful.
