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!
