Allowing Windows 7 "standard" users to install Local Printers at home

$

I need to allow my users to install their home printers on their Windows 7 laptops.  If the printer driver shows up in the driver list that Windows populates, then it will install.  If I click Windows Update to grab more drivers, the new drivers will prompt for Admin Rights.  If I disable UAC prompts, then I get the error "Printer driver was not installed.  Operation could not be completed (error 0x80240044)"

I have disabled Point and Print Restrictions for both Computer Configuration and User Configuration in Group Policy.  I have also allowed the following Class GUIDs under the computer configuration/admin templates/system/driver installation/Allow non-administrators to install drivers for these devices setup classes: 

{4658ee7e-f050-11d1-b6bd-00c04fa372a7}
{4d36e979-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}
{49ce6ac8-6f86-11d2-b1e5-0080c72e74a2}
{48721b56-6795-11d2-b1a8-0080c72e74a2}
{6bdd1fc6-810f-11d0-bec7-08002be2092f}

{88BAE032-5A81-49f0-BC3D-A4FF138216D6}

Those Class GUIDs correspond to Printers, PNPPrinters, Imaging Devices, Dot4, Dot4print, and USB devices.

Thanks!
