Re: Allow non-admins to install printers

Hi

There is setting GPO
Computer configuration --> windows settings --->
Security Settings ---> Local Policies -->
Security Options --> Devices: Prevent users from installing printer drivers
(keep it disabled)

Hello all,

Windows Server 2003 SP1 (2003 functional level)
Vista Business/Enterprise RTM

I want to allow users to install network printers and usb printers without
being logged in as administrators.

I have these settings in a GPO:

Policy Setting
Allow installation of devices using drivers that match these device setup
classes Enabled
Allow installation of devices using drivers for these device classes:
{4d36e979-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}

Policy Setting
Prevent installation of devices not described by other policy settings
Enabled


But it's not working. I can't install either of them. Any suggestions?


Thanks!

Björn
