    Add Printer => "this operation has been cancelled..."

    Hello,

    I have the same problem as the guy in this thread:
    Unable to add printer - need help ASAP

    but none of the fixes seems to work. What else can I do to be able to install a printer?
    Regardless of what I do, I still get the same msg: 'This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator' when I try to add a printer.

    Please help,

    thanks,
    Matt

    well, fixed it myself. I found in the regedit a "NoAddPrinter" and changed its value from 1 to 0 + rebooted. Works perfect
