Copy a printer in Windows Server 2008
Hi,
I have a printserver, Windows Server 2008 R2 standard. I need a copy of one of the installed printers. This copy must be installed on the same server, just with another name and different settings.
If i install the same printer on ip address, i can't choose the same driver. Only choose from a default list, or click 'have disk'.
Can someone help me with this?

I have not heard of that Printer / Driver. Perhaps it does not install correctly as a driver. What I described works for HP and Xerox drivers.
Can you run the printer install again? That is from the install file or CD?

I click 'add printer'. Then i choose the printer i want to copy. After that it shows the message below. I can change the name, but no printer queue is added.
