Does Anyone know how to enable "Local Printer Attached to this Computer" for
local users or Domain users? It is only available for Admins.

Thanks
 
Give Local Users the correct permissions.

While logged on as Admin.... Control Panel, Printers & Faxes, Right click on
the Printer in question, click on Security tab... set the correct
permissions.
 
Sorry Cari,
This did not answer my question. I need standard users to add printers
that do not existing. How can i give a standard user the right to create
printers. without them being an admin or power user etc.
 
Hello Cari,
That does not help either... That is only if the user is a
Administrator or Power User. I need a "Domain User" to have the right to
local printers.
 
Become a Vista Beta user, standard users can add printers.
All other Windows OS (excluding Win9x where everyone was admin), the
minimum user able to install a printer using the Add printer wizard is Power
Users. PnP devices will install for user but PnP runs in system context so
the device is installed

Okay, they'll have to wait for later. Users can't install print devices
other than connections unless they are members of the Power Users group with
Load device driver privilege
