This is what I have set to keep the popups away and allow users to install printer drivers. I had mixed results without adding the device classes. I have it set for each printer, but as someone said earlier it’s probably more convenient to set it once and forget about it.

Regardless, you can deploy a GPO to give users rights to install printers. Computer Configuration\Administrative Template\System\Driver Installation\Allow non-administrator to install drivers for these device setup classes is the place. I believe you need the Windows 7 RSAT tools to do it, though.

Question 1, why is it happening Question 2, how do you let non-admin users install the driver?
