Unlucky, well at least you've found the problem. Bloody Windows.
At least it's Friday :)

Yeah but I have 300 of these systems to put out...that is a tedious solution
at best. I actually figured out what the problem was, there was a help file
missing when the driver was installed so the new user logging in would not
detect the driver as being installed and try and install it. If you read the
article even if you elevate ACL's it won't work so that isn't a solution.
This is a bug because if users don't have access and never will have access
to install a local printer then windows certainly shouldn't be trying to run
the install wizard and install the driver for a local printer again when you
plug it in logged in as a user.

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

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
