Looking for a printer option

Currently I have a windows 2003 domain setup. I am going to migrate my users
to vista. I was needing to know how do make it so that any user can add their
own printer without them having admin rights? Currently with our Windows XP
setup all my users can do this but in vista it always ask for higher
elevation or an admin to install the printer. Is this something I need to do
on the local security policy that will allow all users to install printers?

Re: Looking for a printer option

There is a policy on Vista with regard to Point and Print. You can disable
the prompt for user elevation during a connection.
