Devices: Prevent users from installing printer drivers

Hi All,

We deployed some printers on the print server by sharing the printers. I have already disabled this setting in the Group Policy. And I can make sure it has taken effect by checking gpresult and rsop.msc. However, users still get the UAC window for admin credential to install the printer driver when I change the printer driver on the print server.

Regards,

Hi,

Actually, the Devices: Prevent users from installing printer drivers setting does not affect the ability to add a local printer,

and it also does not affect Power Users or Administrator.

For more information about this setting, you could refer to this article,

Hope this can be helpful to you

Best regards
