Allowing installation of local printers

's Computer Specifications

On XP workstations within a W2k domain

What permissions are required to allow a user to install local printers, but
not allow users to install other programs?

Thanks in advanced

Darren.

We run w2k in a kind of "kiosk-mode" with very restricted rights.

To install Printers I deployed a "inst_printer.cmd" to their desktops
containning:

rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /il

That helped me.

Stefan
