Power User Cannot Add Local Printer

Hello,

I have a small application that calls AddPrinter to create a copy of
an installed printer.

Everything works fine under the administrator account, or an account
with administrative privileges. When I try to copy a printer with this
application under a user who is part of the Power User group, it fails
with error 1307 (This security ID may not be assigned as the owner of
this object. ) I have added Power Users to the Load/Unload device
driver user rights and the printer still fails to copy.

Strange to me though, I can successfully create a copy of the printer
using the Add Printer Wizard.

Does anyone have any ideas what the add printer wizard is doing
differently?

Thanks.
