New Printer installation blocked by Administrator user

[Patrick016]

Im unable to install my new Brother Laser 2750 printer and it seems my newish DELL Mini PC is missing some essential Win11 software because it wants an Administrator to install the printer and I dont have and cannot change my user permissions for reasons I dont understand.

Is there a bespoke commercial software package that is specifically designed to enable Standard Local Users( NOT MS accounts!!) to overcome this issue which I am told has existed since 2019 within Printer Group Policy Management suite in W11.Something that you simply download, run the EXe files and simply select the Printer name you want it install?? This is driving me up the wall!!Ive tried a few suggestions but at every turn I come up against the Admin user at some point.

All suggestions gratefully received!! If you need more details let me know.

Thanks
Adrian

Are you signed in with an admin account Or user account?
If you right click the .exe file & choose run as admin does this show a popup asking for authorisation?
Unless Brother supply that install file then you’ll be looking for generic/inbuilt software which may or may not work or be available with all the features.
You can try enabling the built in admin account - https://www.majorgeeks.com/content/...t_in_administrator_account_in_windows_11.html
