Tried to totally disable "Point and Print Restrictions" both computer and user part, because of this. For some users, who already have printers installed, some printers ask to update the driver and then prompt for admin credentials. For some users, no issue with installed printers. I have a bunch of HP printers - so what's the solution for them? Not finding any v4 drivers for them. In the process of testing the Kyocera v4 drivers.
This isn't good. After many tests, we've found only 2 solutions. One will be applied very soon, the second after some tests because of the change. We lose a lot of print options with V4 drivers. ThomasP Your second options is where we're at, and we're finding out that Kyocera V4 drivers take long to print large documents and due to the nature of our business, that's not acceptable for us. It really looks like printer makers need to re-write their V4 drivers to be as useful as V3 drivers.
Can we deploy print server and network printer at member server? Default printer GPO won't work. Unable to update the hosts file. Deploy pfx to users personal cert store for some users.
Skip to main content. Find threads, tags, and users Current Visibility: Visible to all users. I've been making "some" progress on this, although its painful and annoying. I won't remote access hundreds of computers to entre admin credentials. I hope we'll find a solution. Im right there with you! You are not alone. I am having this issue also on my server for Papercut. Comment Show 0. Still pursuing with Microsoft via a support call.
Initially being told this is a now issue. Problem is even a lot of recent updated drivers are Type 3 and can't find Type It's not funny at all and not a realistic solution. Now my users are loosing their printers that are already configured. And to clarify that's changing the driver type on the print server to Type 4 Driver. I'll look into this. I'll try to figure out how to change this.
Having the same issue here, but possibly even worse. Phill Jan 23, at UTC.

Some applications have the option to install for a single user profile instead of all users.
In this case, the installer doesn't need admin rights. I know Google Chrome does this- not sure about Dropbox. Bryce Katz This person is a verified professional.
Back up. First step: What's the company's policy on administrative rights? If there isn't one, they need to put one in place. This gives IT a largely-irrefutable stance to fall back on. That by itself is typically enough to shut down all but the most self-important end users. Next step: Understanding why a given user feels they need this ability.
Is the IT department not responsive enough? Does part of their job require a special bit of software that thinks it needs or actually does need admin rights? I've seen a couple of posts in the community where the request for some form of admin rights was actually justified. Once you understand the need driving the request, there may be a way to address the desired functionality without actually granting a user admin rights to the workstation.
For example, if they're the only ones who use a bit of software that updates frequently but demands "admin rights" to install, IT can often work around this by granting the user Full Control to a particular program folder or registry key or both.
