How are folks managing with Intune the remote workers and their devices when a remote worker is not a local admin yet needs to add a device at home such as a local printer/scanner etc for their job? That would require elevation, and as a local user, they do not have rights to do so? Is IT having to constantly add devices to remote worker systems in support calls (sounds inefficient) or are people leaving users as admins?

Go with Papercut to avoid work information being printed when not wanted, and your users using unmonitored equipment. It allows the user to add a local printer (if you deem it) without admin rights. Also doesn't allow drivers to be installed on the EP which can be a vulnerability. It is relatively cheap and Microsoft will never compete or offer a service intelligent like that.

I am thinking of scenarios where you have a person who works at home or in multiple places on the road etc. and they have a document/powerpoint/spreadsheet etc and it is easier for them to do what they want to do with it printed ( yeah young folks people do print occasionally lol) but they are at home and have a MFP at home and just want to print. They should be able to however the nature of adding a printer to the system generally requires elevation. This kinda puts a hamsting on them plus making them wait on an IT team just to add their home printer is unreasonable as is charging more to get something like cloud printing or to get added "suite" options, seems unreasonable to me as well. Intune already is an added cost in many licenses.
