Check value for Devices: Prevent users from installing printer drivers. This test checks the setting for policy 'Devices: Prevent users from installing printer drivers' on Windows hosts (at least Windows 7). For a device to print to a network printer, the driver for that network printer must be installed locally. The policy setting determines who can install a printer driver as part of adding a network printer. If the value is enabled, only Administrators and Power Users can install a printer driver as part of adding a network printer. Setting the value to Disabled allows any user to install a printer driver as part of adding a network printer
