Hi, Alan, you're right!
Via Group Policy, "Users" group can also get load driver privilege, but is
that possible for this group to add local printer? (I've already considered
using "Runas" or other 3rd party software, but it's not so good!), any
existing method?

Some of our business users (especially home-based) need to add local
printers
under their accounts, but it is not applicable to add them into local
administrators group. Is there any existing method (e.g. registry or group
policy) to make "add printer" wizard available to limited user (or Power
Users) to add LOCAL Printer?
