Client server environment:

I set the appropriate permissions in the Group Policy to
add / search for printers. When the users opens
up 'printers and faxes' the option 'add a printer' is not
present. Add a printer under the file menu says
restrictions are in place!? Does the user have to be a
member of the local power users group?

Are there any local settings i should try!?

I want the users to be able to browse and connect to any
printer they wish using the 'add a printer' on the left
hand pane in 'printers and faxes'.

The trouble is that it doesnt come up for some of my
users and I can not work out why!?

I thought maybe there were missing some sort of local
permssion.

I have 300 odd computers i don't want to use that global
add function for each one.
