Can Power Users install printers?
w^rl0rd
OK, I know that only Administrators and Power users can share printers and that only Administrators have the "Load and Unload Device Drivers" right for installing hardware, but can't Power Users install printer drivers?

I don't think they can. Only if the printer is plug and play though.

If I remembery correctly power users can be given permission to load or unload new devices as well, so yeah I think it is possible for power users to install printers.

Power users can install network printers as long as the drivers are there, they cant put drivers on the os.
And your right slam you can give them the right to load drivers, but they dont have it by default.

pw users cant even if the right is give but can use secondary logon(admin credentials) to do such.

Power users can intall printers, if you give them the right to install drivers. They already have the right to install a network printer or a printer attached to another computer.
