Browse the network to find printers

Description

Lets users use the Add Printer wizard to search the network for shared printers.

  • If you enable this policy or do not configure it, then when users click Add a network printer, but do not type the name of a particular printer, the Add Printer wizard displays a list of all shared printers on the network and invites users to choose a printer from among them.
  • If you disable this policy, users cannot search the network; they must type a printer name first.

This policy affects the Add Printer wizard only. It does not prevent users from using other programs to search for shared printers or to connect to network printers.
