Can user install virtual pdf (postscript) printer on Windows without admin rights?


Can user install virtual pdf (postscript) printer on Windows without admin rights?

By default (Ghostscript, doPDF...) require the admin right.

May be where is a some way to install virtual printer for user?


Solution

  • Sounds more like a Windows policy than anything else, which is set up by the administrator of the Windows installation.

    The current shipping version of Ghostscript includes a signed .inf file, which avoids the problems previously encountered. However, the user must still have rights to add a printer, there's no way to add a printer without having the right to do so.
