Can't add network printers as normal users - Point and Print disabled.

Disabled Point and Print restrictions. This should be all that is required right? Because that's what Microsoft say and yet again I'm having my time wasted and my stress levels risen because of their BS.

So, restrictions are disabled. I can 100% confirm this via gpresult export. There's nothing that should be conflicting with this.

But on a server 2008 client/TS when I attempt to install a network printer I get a prompt saying "To use the shared printer ..... you need to install the printer driver on your computer...."

With a button to "Install Driver" showing UAC symbol or cancel.

Clicking the "Install Driver" UAC button locks up the explorer windows. No UAC window ever appears or any other prompt, but clicking anywhere in the now broken window gives a "error beep".

Microsoft... Stop THIS FUCKING BULLSHIT AND JUST MAKE NETWORK PRINTERS WORK. I followed your instructions. There are no "restrictions"... Why isn't it "just working" like it apparantly should? Are your staff liars? Are MS liars? Who is at fault here?
