IPP: Connecting XP clients power users

[Marcus]

Hi,
I have the following problem:
I'm running a W2K AD and use a W2K Server as printserver.
The Users can connect to the printers using the
printerswebpage http://printserver/printers. All Users
using W2K Pro can connect to the printers. All Users using
Win XP Pro cannot. It seems to be a problem with the user
rights. All Users are "domain users" and local "power
users". When an Admin tries to connect on a XP cleint it
works.
Are there any settings I have to change for the XP clients
to allow the Users to connect to printers using IPP?

Thanks for your help
Marcus

Security changes on XP removed the Load Driver privilege for Power Users.
You can add this back so XP behaves like Win2k in this instance.
Administrative tools
Local Security Policy
User Rights Assignments
Load and Unload device drivers

Add Power Users.

Hi Alan,
thanks for your advice.
Is there any possibility to limit the Load Driver
Privilege to Printer Drivers?

Marcus

no this is a part of setup (spooler just calls setup to add the driver) and
they do not make distinctions on driver types.
