Question : Installing a Windows 7 network printer

I have installed the fiurst 2 Windows 7 Professional machines. The users are now trying to install network printers, but they get asked for administrative passwords. When using XP, they just installed the printers without any password at all.

What am I doiung wrong and how do I fix it so network printers can be installed without admin passwords.

Thanks

Answer : Installing a Windows 7 network printer

This is down to 'Point and Print' restrictions requiring UAC prompts in Vista/7
It's designed to prevent malicious drivers being left on servers for users to install.
See: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753269.aspx  

which contains the low down on creating a list of trusted servers and disabling the prompts and elevation requests via Group Policy.
