This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer. Search for:. Yes it is, and I've verified that the spooler service is running in the Services applet. I've also tried removing and re-adding the role via the "Manage my Server" wizard. If your workstations are running 32 bit version of XP, then you'll need to install the 32 bit version of the printer driver, even though the server is running a 64 bit OS.
Always look at the printers from the point of view of the desktops and what's compatible with them. I cannot install the printers using the Add Printer wizard. If I try this I get "The specified location does not contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the location contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for xbased systems" as an error message.
It worked like a champ. Is it possible that the previous drivers were somehow corrupted and are stuck in a cache somewhere? If so, can I somehow delete or clear out this cache? If it makes a difference, the drivers that I've been fighting with have mostly been HP, the n and tn to be exact. Again, I've tried installing drivers for other printers with no success with the Ricoh exception mentioned above.
Any attempt to install an x64 print driver for any make or model whether pre-loaded with Windows or downloaded from a Vendor, viz. HP, fails every time.
