To resolve this issue, modify the Group Policy settings for the Group Policy object (GPO) that has printer policies defined for the domain users on the domain controller. To do this, use one of the following methods.

Method 1
Configure the Load and unload device drivers policy setting for the Power Users group. To do this, follow these steps:
Click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Active Directory Users and Computers.
In the navigation pane, right-click your domain name, and then click Properties.
Click the Group Policy tab, click the GPO that you want to modify, and then click Edit.
In Group Policy Object Editor, locate and then click the Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment folder.
Locate and then double-click Load and unload device drivers.
Click to select the Define these policy settings check box, and then click Add User or Group to add the Power Users domain group.
In the Add User or Group dialog box, click Browse to locate the Power Users domain group. Under Enter the object names to select, type Power Users, and then click Check Names to resolve the group name. Click OK three times.
Turn off the Disallow installation of printers using kernel-mode drivers policy. To do this, follow these steps:
In the left pane, locate and then click the Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Printers folder.
Locate and then double-click Disallow installation of printers using kernel-mode drivers, click Disabled, and then click OK.
Disable the Point and Print Restrictions policy. To do this, follow these steps:
In the left pane, locate and then click the User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Control Panel\Printers folder.
Locate and then double-click Point and Print Restrictions, click Disabled, and then click OK.
On the File menu, click Exit.
Click Start > Run, type cmd.exe, and then click OK.
At the command prompt, type gpupdate /force, and then press ENTER.
Repeat steps 5 through 6 on the Windows XP SP1-based and Windows Server 2003-based client computers of the domain.
