Got that set also, it seems...and google backs it up.....that this does not fix the issue for USB printers. USB printers seem to install more as a device rather than a 'printer', as far as XP is concerned.
So far the combo I am trying is having the users as power users, allow load and unload device drivers + disabled 'prevent users from installing printer drivers' (although that should not impact power users per MS) and I am even allowing silent succeed on unsigned drivers. I plug in the USB printer and it detects and instantly says you need to be an admin and asks for credentials.

Maybe that's where you need to look?

And if so how are the rest of you handling that for laptop users with home printers? ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
