[THIN] Network Printers

I just realized today that my users are not able to add network printers to
their Citrix Profiles (we are using roaming profiles for Citrix). The error
they are getting is: "A policy is in effect on your computer which prevents
you from connecting to this print queue. Please contact your system
administrator." Administrators are not experiencing this issue. All our
users are just members of the Remote Desktop Users group and Local Users
group of the servers.
We are running all PS 4.0 with R03 and R04 updates. I don't believe this is
a CAG issue as I can reproduce the problem both through the CAG and direct
to our internal WI servers connecting to a test app on a test server (R04).
I found a setting in the Local Security Policy called : Prevent Users from
Installing Printer drivers. This setting was Enabled. I disabled the
setting, ran a "gpupdate /force" and tried again, nope! I restarted the
server, nope! I then ran the RSoP and found that this setting is "Not
Configured". No GPO is listed in the Source GPO column. I ran the GP
Management tool just to be sure and found this server in a container that
had 3 GPO's applied to it. I checked each one and none of them had this
setting listed. Does the RSoP ignore the Local Security Policy altogether?
Is all of the Local Security Policy ignored if any GPO is applied to this
server? I believe that you can set anything in the LSP and as long as there
is not a conflict in a GPO then it was good (GPO has precedence).
Any help that you can provide is most appreciated!
