#Windows 7 rename printer windows 7#

All users are on Windows 7 enterprise computers.We're running our domain on Windows Server 2008 R2.If it helps, the interim solution is to go in and manually change the security settings for each of the printers for our key users, but this isn't a long term viable solution. I've been pulling my hair out over this for days and even resorted to searching Bing to see if I got any different results from the seemingly useless ones Google kept giving me. Up until now all of our users had local admin rights, a huge security issue that I'm attempting to mitigate, but I haven't yet found a way to allow my users to modify their printer settings in the way I need them to be able to without those rights. This leaves only two options: Add all the various different printers that the user needs to print to the user's computer and let them rename the printer they want to print to, or allow the user to change the port (IP) that the printer prints to (all the printers are of the same type they're just located in different places). I'd like to be able to push this out through GPO somehow.Дue to a poorly designed, but business-critical application, certain printers need to be named certain things in order to be printed to from the application. Specifically, they need to be able to rename the printers and change the assigned port (IP address).

I need to allow users to modify their locally installed printers. I've been scouring the internet for days and thus far have had zero luck in finding a solution.
