Hi, I am currently doing my network project and I need to install a network printer on server 2003 and make it accessible to Windows 7 users. What I would like to do is that I restrict the users from adding or deleting the printers. At the same time but I would like the administrator to be able to add printers himself, i.e, once the administrator presses on add printer, it asks for the administrator rights..else the user is not allowed. NB: I have already added the network printer on server 2003 and done the permissions required. I have also done some group policies on the users to deny them to add or remove printers but in turn it is not asking me for the admin credentials when I want to add the printer. Is this possible please? Thanks

According the issue , I recommend to use Rundll32 and printui.dll for this.
