power users have too many rights

Hi,
My problem is that power users have too many rights.
Users on my NT4 domain (nt4, w2k and xp workstations) just need to be able
to install new printers (local or network printers)

If I give them power users rights, it makes them able to share directories,
and I don't wan't them to do that.
If I don't give them power users rights, they can't install new printers.

Is there a solution ?

Any help would be appreciated.

And happy new year !

I know of no way around that. If regular users could install printers then
many would say they have too many rights. Generally a user would not need a
printer instale that often. There is a user right in W2K to install print
drivers, but I don't think that will help for a local printer
installation. --- Steve
