Hi

When my users try to add a printer using the "connect to a printer on the
internet or on a home or office network" in the add printer wizard this part
is greyed out.

Yet when an administrator does the same they are able to add the printer.

Does anyone know how to allow a user without admin rights to add the printer
using this method?
Could it be done using a GPO?

Thanks

Adding a printer requires access to system files. Users do NOT have
access to system files.

Thatnks for the input, but I know about admin rights etc, it is just strange
that they can add a printer using the \\server\printer method in the wizard,
but the http:// method is greyed out.

Is giving them admin rights the only way?
