Please note after your checks all check out, it's not fully patched, it may need a few more rounds:

Thank you Seth.
And, I also read it can harm your existing print drivers. Although with remoting to RDS, we all have over 450 print drivers to choose from (ok a slight exaggeration -- maybe 398) another reason I don't like "thick clients."

It states you can do what you said, then if needed if a print driver is crushed, uninstall and re-install. That is fine but as the IT admin and the owner and physician of my practice every other thing that takes time is difficult. I am already on the download the patch bus.
And, I also read it can harm your existing print drivers.

I personally haven't heard of any issues.
I don't have as many drivers as you but after installing on my print server and most of my clients, haven't had any issues.
Where did you read that?
