THIS is probably the part that's failing, since I've seen that, even if it's the same printer/PC combination, the USB printer port can change depending on what devices are present and what port it's plugged into.

USB printers seem to install more as a device rather than a 'printer', as far as XP is concerned. So far the combo I am trying is having the users as power users, allow load and unload device drivers + disabled 'prevent users from installing printer drivers' (although that should not impact power users per MS) and I am even allowing silent succeed on unsigned drivers. I plug in the USB printer and it detects and instantly says you need to be an admin and asks for credentials.

And if so how are the rest of you handling that for laptop users with home printers? ----- Salvador Manzo [ 620 W. 35th St - Los Angeles, CA 90089 e.
