I have a program that is giving users issues when trying to print from
a specific program on the MS 2003 Terminal Server box. The only way I
have figured out to let the users be able to print from the program is
to make them local admins on the Terminal Server box. Though doing
this over writes their restricted group policy that does not allow
them to shut down the box. If I give them local admin rights then they
can shut down the box. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions on how to
give them print rights but no admin rights?

RE: Printing Issues

Why not using Printer Redirection? The local printers of the users will popup
in the terminal server session and users are able to select their printer to
print to.
Cheers,
Yuri

I forgot to mention that they are on thin clients so I don't think
that would work.

Redirected printers work from thin clients as well, in exactly the
same way as with fat clients.
