More info?)
I read the posting you pointed me to and I thank you but wasn’t able to find
any that addressed my issue. There were a lot!
Can you answer these so I understand?
1. Windows XP, a user that is a member of the local users group and NOT a
member of the ADMIN or POWER USERS group can’t add local printers?
2. How about this one? Windows XP, a user that is a member of the local
users group and NOT a member of the ADMIN or POWER USERS group but is a part
of the load and unload device drivers local security setting can they add
printers? (Shouldn’t this work?) ( Tested this one and the local printer
option is still grayed out, why?)
Goal = We need to have our remote users just be users in Windows XP but be
able to add local printers.
Is there some sort of combo that will allow us to do that and not have the
user be able to install other apps like making them apart of the Power Users
group?
Thanks,
-Dan
