As far as I rember this is not possible, because in Windows NT 4 the
printer drivers are still kernel space und no normal user account has
the permissions to install printer drivers. In Windows 2000 this
"bug/feature" has been circumvented by moving the printer drivers to
user space... 
I think want you want is not possible, but I may be way off mark her...
