So one of my mini projects is to get the 5 printers we have in our building on the network and set up on the server using print queues. That part was easy and I was able to install all 5 printers on my Windows 7 laptop just fine using the print queues and installing of drivers too straight from the server.
The fun part is trying to get other machines to do the same. I have local admin rights on my laptop since I'm the IT guy here.
The other users in the building are not local admins. The network we have is a Server 2003 domain and Windows 7 machines for all of our desktops and laptops. When I go to a user's PC and try to install the printers via the server (whether it be through using the UNC in a run box or adding it as a network printer) it goes to install the drivers for the printer and errors out saying cannot connect to printer with either an error code of 0x0000002 or 0x0000007e (If I remember correctly).
I have given the driver location on the server the proper security permissions. I've tried setting permissions via a GPO to allow non-administrators to install drivers for printers. Am I missing something here??
