The Windows 7 workstation was able to find the shared printer on the SBS 2003 and connected without a problem. I don't know why it wouldn't do it the first time. &nbsp;Thanks.

I have a HP CP 2800 inkjet wide layout printer that is connected to a Windows 2003 SBS server &nbsp;by parallel cable and shared on the network.<br />
<br />
I've just added 2, Windows 7 Professional 64Bit workstations to the network and now I can't seem to access/connect to that shared printer.<br />
<br />
In the server's printer properties there is no way to add Windows 7 driver.<br />
<br />
How can I share this printer so that Windows 7 workstations can connect to it?<br />
<br />
THanks,

Sharing printer on SBS 2003 for Windows 7 computers to use

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

Windows 7 is an operating system from Microsoft. Features include multi-touch support, a redesigned Windows Shell with a new taskbar, referred to as the Superbar, a home networking system called HomeGroup, and performance improvements.
