Hi there

I can't believe nobody has required this before, I searched high and low
everywhere for an answer but can't find it.

My problem is this, my Users are setup as Users on the local PC and
therefore cannot add printers, I have given Users the access in
GPEDIT.msc(Local Security Policy) to "Load and Unload Device Drivers", I
have also given Users access to c:\windows\system32\spool folder. If I set
them up as Power users and give access like i did when they was setup as
users it all works fine, so it seems to me that i just need to know where
else access needs to be given.

Thanks in advance, your help is much appreciated

When adding a local printer, it also need adding registry entries.A typical
one is below:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print

So, registry cannot be omitted.However, because HKLM is related to opearting
system. Please balance the risk and benefits before assign permission of
registry to a User account.
