I'm trying to solve a problem with users not beeing able to install printer
drivers
The policy "Devices: Prevent users from installing printer drivers" is
disabled, but ordinary users are still having problems connecting to
printers on another domain.

On
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/tr...technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/proddocs/581.asp I
find this text:
"If an administrator has configured a trusted path for downloading drivers,
this setting has no impact. When trusted paths are used, the print subsystem
attempts to use the trusted path to download the driver. If the trusted path
download succeeds, the driver is installed on behalf of any user. If the
trusted path download fails, the driver is not installed and the network
printer cannot be added. "

My question is:
What is a trusted path and how do I configure a trusted path?
Is this the same as a trust between domains?

Hi Rolf-

I believe that document is referring to configuring the driver source as in
this KB article:
