Hi Jim 

I'd try Chris suggestion of temporarily raising the users local group to
admin then install and drop them back when done, I have done that for other
stupid MS nonsense's like this and it does usually work fine.

JS is a genius

Cheers
Dan

Hey JS is a God, I'd never talk smack about him, had it not been for his
site I'd still be search for an answer...Microsoft on the other hand.....
The printer IS installed as an admin. When the user logs on it trys to
install it again for some stupid reason as described in the article.

I can understand your frustration, but don't talk smack about Jerold
Schulman or Microsoft on MY list!  :P

Sorry, I shouldn't joke when you're frustrated like this.

Can't you just install the printer and then deny the users access to it?
I know it's not really what you're looking to do, but I guess if it's
installed, the users won't get prompted to install.  But, I thought that
if you installed a local printer, it would already be installed for any
user who logs on.  That is not the case?

For relief of frustration, consider
