I've configured GPO settings to allow non-admins users to add printers. The two settings are:

  • Computer Configuration/Policies/Administrative Templates/System/Driver Installation/Allow non-administrators to install drivers for these device setup classes (I've added the class GUID for printers {4D36E979-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318})
  • User Configuration/Polices/Administrative Templates/Control Panel/Printers/Point and Print Restrictions (Disabled)

I've verified that these settings work when adding a printer using Add Printer from Devices and Printers menu. However, users are not able to add a wireless printer using Add Device. I've tried adding the class GUID for printers to the Device Installation Restrictions/Allow installation of devices using drivers that match these device setup classes, but the user is still prompted for admin password.

The printer she is trying to install is a HP Officejet 4650. It is wireless and she can print from other devices at her home.

Any help is appreciated.

  • Are you sure that the problem is with printer driver installation? Perhaps the problem with the user's wireless network configuration in which the printer working? May be firewall rules? – Slipeer Jan 19 '17 at 19:12
  • If you connect to it shared, does you see a driver prompt ? – yagmoth555 Jan 19 '17 at 19:28
