| How can limited user add local printers? under their accounts, but it is not applicable to add them into local administrators group. Is there any existing method (e.g. registry or group policy) to make "add printer" wizard available to limited user (or Power Users) to add LOCAL Printer? |

Hi, Alan, you're right! Via Group Policy, "Users" group can also get load driver privilege, but is that possible for this group to add local printer? (I've already considered using "Runas" or other 3rd party software, but it's not so good!), any existing method? |

If Plug-N-Play installs the printer for the user then that's the only way in XP. But the driver needs to be inbox (XP came out 5 years ago so you have to use 5 year old devices) or the driver must be already installed. If you are adding printers that target a network port, minimum is Power Users. |

You can elevate applications or OS functions on a per application basis using Privilege Guard from Avecto. It will allow you to elevate the add local printer wizard for standard users. |
