The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

SBS 2008 Server - Install x86 printer drivers

Asked by MarkMichael in SBS Small Business Server, Windows Server 2008, Windows XP Operating System

Tags: SBS 2008, Windows XP, Windows 2008

Hi Experts

I'm wondering if you can help me!
I am trying to push out some Printers, but before that I need to get them installed properly.

We have a few LaserJet 5100 printers, which we are using currently.
They need to be migrated to the SBS2008 server. (no choice here as the other server is going to be discontinued soon).

Ok, heres my issue.
I have installed the 2008 x64 drivers on the server. I have shared the printers and the next step is to get some drivers installed for the x86 clients.

I have used a Windows XP PC to connect to the server \\servername\printers and faxes\ - this opens up the printers and faxes console and I then selected

Server Properties
Drivers
Add
Used the drivers that I downloaded from the HP site for HP Laserjet 4100 PCL 5e
Selected x86 (It is named 'Intel' for x86 I'm assuming?) and the drivers went in no problem.

Then went back to the workstation, tried to add new printer, searched directory.
Found the printer and selected it to be added.
It came back with the error:
THe server for 'HP Laserjet 4100 PCL 5' printer does not have the correct printer driver intsalled. If you want to search for the proper driver, click OK Otherwise click Cancel.... etc'

It looks like it thinks the driver is not installed, yet I have installed it already.

Another method of adding it by going to the server \\servername\printersharename does the exact same thing.

Can anyone help me out, am I doing something wrong? How can I get it to automatically install?

I need to use GP or a login script to push these printers out but so far I'm stuck.
Thanks,

Mark
