We have 3500 stand alone computers that need the ability to add printers and
USB devices. The local user account does not have admin rights and the users
are forced to contact the Help Desk every time they need to add a printer or
USB device. Is there a way that I can setup the local account to let the
users add printers and USB devices without having to contact the Help Desk.
These computers are not on a domain or run any type of policy. Some are on a
branch connection with the rest coming trrough a VPN Tunnel. I am currently
updating the image and would like to work this into the new image if it is
possible. Thank you all for you time and effort in this matter.

Usually not, but you can try to modify "Load and unload device drivers" from
control panel>administrative tools>local security policy>local policies>user
rights assignement
You can make a user able to install drivers...
