We currently have our GPO pretty locked down. Users are not allowed to do much other than run their applications. So far, this has presented no problems (other than people wanting their own backgrounds and screen savers).

Currently, though, we have need to allow some folks to install printer drivers on their laptops. Currently, we have to either give them admin access to the local computer or have an admin do the install for them. A consultant suggested we change the GPO to allow installation of native printer drivers. I've searched w/o success. Can someone point me to the GPO setting I need to accomplish this?

Have you already assigned the right "Load and unload device drivers" to the users?:
