Hi,
We are in the process of upgrading our print servers from Server 2003 to Server 2008 (both 32bit) as well as installing additional servers which are server 2008 r2.
Now we did an export and import where we could to save time but we have come across this issue. When you try and connect to the printers through the webpage (http://servername/printers) on a windows 7 Machine, you get the error:
"Printer Installation Failed"
"the printer driver is unknown"
Now this is mainly happening with HP drivers. We use the universal driver a lot on printers that don't have Windows 7 Drivers.
If we connect to these printers through the webpage on an XP machine it works fine. Both machines are 32bit. Also if I browse to the printer (\\servername\) and connect to the printer through there it works fine. The drivers definitely xp and windows 7 compatible
Anyone had this before or any ideas what would be wrong?
Cheers
