Print Nightmare workaround

 


  • Run an administrative command prompt
  • Copy this command:
    • reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Printers\PointAndPrint" /v RestrictDriverInstallationToAdministrators /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
  • You should not need to reboot after doing this, but if you still can't add the printer go ahead and reboot
  • After adding the printer successfully, delete this registry entry and reboot
