There are two steps to perform the job:
1 - Installing the driver
Two ways :
 - use #RequireAdmin
 - allow non-administrators to install printer drivers. That second way can be done using a group policy like this : How to edit a GPO to edit the Driver Installation policy to allow non-admins to install printers (4225529) (oneidentity.com)

2 - Installing the printer
First, you have do understand what kind of printer you want to install. Is it a local printer or a shared printer ?

If it's a shared printer, it's not necessary to elevalate privileges (so no need of #RequireAdmin).  Just use _PrintMgr_AddWindowsPrinterConnection per user no per computer

If it's a local printer (using a TCP/IP port), you will need to use #RequireAdmin

Hello. I did create these few functions several months ago. I post here, if it can interest someone. These functions based on WMI queries allow you to manage printers : add / delete printer, drive

There was an error in the WMI query, fixed now (please download the updated file) Yes, you have to use the share name for remote shared printers (I added a remarks in the function header)

I got it to work, but you have to use the FQDN of the print server i.e \\Servername.domain.com\Printer name.
