Can I install Microsoft Office Document Image Writer on server?
In a situation where RDP clients are accessing a terminal server, and all printers from that local workstation are picked up by the server, is there a way to have the Image Writer driver installed on the server without installing Office?

Do you really need the Office Image Writer, or just something the users can use to print to a file? FinePrint PDF Factory works on terminal servers, and would allow your users to "print" to a pdf.

Actually, I don't even need it. I'm just trying to clear up errors that I get on the server because the driver is not installed, and rather than go to each location and handle this on the client side, I was hoping to take care of it on the server side. And yes, this is Microsoft Office Image Writer.
One solution would be to disable printer redirection on the server, install a program that allows you to print (FinePrint, Adobe Acrobat, etc), and map a network printer.
Another would be to install Office and disable all components except for the Image Writer.

I'd say several answers here contributed to a solution.. split points Merete and bkoehler-mpr

Which solution provided the answer? I asked about having a driver available on the server for Office Image Writer without installing Office. Merete, your response was to install Office. And while all the info posted is helpful (including yours), none provided a way of intalling the driver. Unless I missed it.
I certainly will not object to handing out the points here, to you or anyone else. I think good information should be rewarded even if it was not the direct answer. You have helped me in the past and I have given you points. That will continue and I don't mean to start any arguement here. But the other answers involved doing things I didn't want to do for various reasons, and none provided the driver.

No need to refund. As I said, information even if not the direct answer should be rewarded.
g127404 was the first to point out this could not be done. So the bulk of the points go to this user.
bkoehler-mpr and merete thanks for the info and confirmation, and all that you provide to everyone!
