Asign userright to install USB Printer

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.print_fax (More info?)

How can I asign the right to a user to install USB Printers. We cannot
put him in the Power User Group. The problem appeared with a HP for
which Windows XP doesn't have a driver, yet.

thanks for the answer. In this case we have to find a work around. The
user must have the possibility to install new printers.

Hy again,
We had an idea:
Our problem is that the installation (printer wizard) of an USB
printer calls the hardware wizard. The printer wizard runs under
administrator but not the hardware wizard. Now we wanted to start the
hardware wizard before the printer wizard, hopping it is not called
again afterwards.
Good idea we thought, but: The hardware wizard starts, begins the
searching and than the login mask apears. How could that be if it's
started with runas?
