Stop network printers becoming automatically installed on clients

Hi,

How can I prevent workstations from automatically installing shared printers
found on the network?

Cheers,

Simon

Set the Share Permissions on the Printer Shares for only the user accounts
that are supposed to use them.

i think this is more what he was looking for:

control panel, folder options, view.
under "file and folders" look for "automatically search for network folders
and printers"

Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for - any idea if (and where)
this can be applied through group policy though?

Thanks,
