We recently had a related issue. Although we were working with XP I think you are running into the same problem. The OS requires admin credentials on the ACL and we did not find any way around it. If the drivers have been installed on the machine you won't be prompted. See this Microsoft article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326473/en-us Regards, Cynthia Berridge IT Dept.

What can I change to enable anyone to be able to install a printer via usb? Thanks Eric
