How do I set up Users to be able to add printers

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



I need to be able to allow users with user level access on their PC's
and laptops to be able to add printers with out giving them power user
status. I'm trying to do this with Group Policies and so far I have
been unsuccsesful. Here's what I have so far:

1.We have active directory on a Windows 2003 server DC, but we have no
print server.

2. I need to be able to allow them to set up printers locally and by IP
adress. (IE, when they bring up the printers wizard, I need them to be
able to use the local printer set up rather then the network printer.)
Or is it possible to add a printer by IP address in the Network printer
setup?

3. I have a test OU set up with a test GP that has the test user and
the test machine in it. They are linked and active. And it doesn't seem
like anything in the Default Domain Policy is interfering with my test
GPO. I have it set up so that users can change system time and that
works ok. So I know the GPO is working.

Any other suggestions?
