Hi,
Let me address in the points

- adding a printer
As it is already: * Adding a known USB printer : No popup, no query ... the printer will just start to work.
* Adding a Network printer: depending on the computers "networked printer browsing" setup, will just work without interaction.
* Adding a new not yet known printer: Difficult.
If you even need a PPD file to set it up, or an external driver, allowing this is the equivalent of giving out root access.
=> Setting up printers is a hard task, and root privilege escalation is usually easy when you are allowed to do it.
(I would also like to see it done on Windows 7 without Admin Password.)
