Thanks for all the help on this one!!

I turned this in as a bug to Microsoft and got all kinds
of response!!

Problem: After Installing SP1 on XP, the power users
group cannot add printers.

Microsoft: This is by design, as part of security
enhancements.

Solution: Access the local machines Local security
settings. Expand Local Policies. Click on User Rights
Assignment. Look for Load and unload device drivers.
Double click this and choose to add a group.
Click on object types and check the groups box. Say OK.
Then click on Advanced, Find now. Select the power users
group, or whoever you need. Bingo problem solved.

Hope this helps someone else out there!!

Thanks for all the help!
