usage of built-in group Print Operators

[palomino]

I want allow my helpdesk people to use the printer management Interface on a
Win2008 member server.
But when they add a new printer the message "Network printer Installation
Wizard can not be launched. Access is denied."

How do I create a special Printer Admin Group?

You don't have to - simply make sure that they are members of Print
Operators local group on the server...

we start with the simple way, but it doesn't work.

I also follow the instructions from

Sounds to me like the UAC mechanism is getting in the way. You might want to
try adding the printer from the elevated Command Prompt using the
printui.dll...

Hello palomino,

UAC will prevent all administrative groups to work without using RUNAS. The
only account that can work without that is the administrator. So you have
2 options disable UAC or live with it.

For UAC also check this GPO:
Computer configuration, windows settings, security settings, local policies,
security options, "User account control: Behavior of the elevation prompt
for administrators in Admin Approval Mode", choose "Elevate without prompting".

This will ofcourse lower the security immense.

Best regards
