Hi, we use PDFCreator 2.3.0 in our Enterprise Environment and deploy the Software through SCCM to our Win8.1 machines. Unfortunately when a user wants to add another Printer he is asked for admin rights. As our users do not have addin rights I’m wondering if there is another way to add a Printer without admin rights. Do we need to change any reg key or folder in the files system in order to allow a non-admin user to add printers?
Thanks for any advice!
Hi,
I am not sure if there is a Windows option/GPO for this, but there is no setting on our end which would influence this behavior.
Best regards,
Robin
Hi Robin,
thanks for your reply. I was hopeing you can tell me which exe/regfile/whatever is used once I click on “add Printer”…
Hi,
it will call our printerhelper.exe from the PDFCreator installation folder (which then uses winspool.drv to add the printer).
Best regards,
Robin
