Hello everybody,
I need to install a printer in Windows XP when I'm logged with an account
belonging to group "User"; of course, I know Administrator password.
Is there any way or tool to accomplish this?

The ability of a user to install printer drivers is enabled by local
security policy. In short, a member of the administrators group needs to
enable loading printer drivers.

I have tried this and it works in general. Trouble comes up when the user has
some sort of All-in-One that needs to run an exe to install extra apps that
support coping or scanning. Has anyone seen a way around thiese situations?

Oh, no, boys, to elevate privileges of user is definitely NOT a good approach
to LUA!!!!
What I need is a tool like "RunAsAdmin", but fitted to install printers.
