Printer installation rights

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

Is there a way to let local users of a computer have printer driver
installation rights without making them a member of the admin group?

if you are talking about a networked printer.

If you are talking about a local printer..

Thank you for the links. I have tried adding the Power user group to the load
and unload driver privelege, but this still will not let a power user install
a printer. The printer I am trying to install is hooked up by a USB cable. Do
you think that might have anything to do with not being able to install the
printer, or would the load/unload device privelege work here as well?

Any more help wouold be great.
