Install an Ancient Printer in Vista
Click Start and enter gpedit.msc to launch the Group Policy Object Editor.
Under Computer Configuration, double-click Administrative Templates and select Printers. In the right-hand pane, find the policy named Disallow installation of printers using kernel-mode drivers and double-click it. Set its status to Disabled.
By disabling the disallow policy, you enable the use of kernel-mode drivers—twisted! Click OK, close Group Policy Editor, and Reboot.
Note: The downside of this setting is that a badly written kernel-mode driver can crash your system; that's what the policy was meant to prevent.
