SBS 2011: GPO Group polioy to roll out printers

This is the 3rd of likely too many questions about our move to SBS 2011.  We did a Jeff Middleton swing and the users are up and running.  But there's loads of error messages and issues I have questions about.  Can you search for my username? There'll be loads of questions I need answers to and I award points quickly (if you answer quick!).

So SBS 2011 is moving away from login scripts? OK.  Small group - everyone is in the same office, they all need access to printer x - a network priinter that is connected to the server and shared as \\server\x

32 and 64 bit drivers are on the machine.

how to roll it out?  I saw pages on the web to add the print management roll and I did that, made a GP,etc.

On 3 new Win 7 boxes (with, shame on me? all users as local admins) it fails with '
0x80070bcb The specified printer driver was not found on the system and needs to be downloaded'.  I get that in the event log and on the gp modeling.

I can manually install the printer on those boxes and install the driver with no problem.  Even then, uninstall the printer, reboot and the event log still has that error / no printer mapped.

I found the pages about point and print restrictions disabled. added those to that GP and still no luck.

a) do you need to run gpupdate  / force? I did that on the server and desktop and same results.
b) I tried the next day and still no luck (gp takes time to update? even though gpupdate / force should have done it.)
