Hi All,

 How can i configure my printer management that whenever my users install the drivers, it will prompt for Admin credentials?
Except for GPO what else can i do.

Thanks!

What version of Windows?

Are these for local printers or a connection to a shared printer?

Are the print drivers package aware?

-My Printer Server is Windows Server 2008 R2
-Shared Printer
-No idea if print drivers packaged aware.

Add the column in PrintManagement under Drivers (right click, View, Add/remove Columns)  to view if it is Packaged.  True or False.  If False find out if the vendor has a Package aware driver for your use.   If they do not you will have to manage the Group Policy setting and configure Computer/ Admin templates / Printers / Point and Print restrictions policy.  Configure it so the clients can install without getting admin prompts.  If the driver will not, then you will need to find a compatible driver that will install without requiring admin privilege . 

Hi,

Upon checking package aware is set to "TRUE" i tried to edit it to false but unable to edit .inf file "access is denied" tried to edit the .inf of the installer but upon installation error encountered. Any suggestions? thanks.
