Hi all
I'm running the Print Server service on a Win 2008R2 server 64bit and only have Win 7 64bit clients as Hyper-V VM's (no XP or Vista clients at all). I have managed to deploy one of our HP printers using the normal method of deploying via group policy and the Win 7 clients pick up the drivers from the server ok. "Point and Print" policy is Disabled in Computer Config.
However, the HP Colour LaserJet 2320nf MFP won't install due to the wrong drivers (I think??). The driver package that comes with the printer for Win 7 64 bit clients is in the form of an executable application that I cannot run on the Win 7 clients due to lack of USB support in the VMs (the application says this). I have installed the printer successfully on the print server using the HP Universal Print Driver PCL 6 but the Win 7 clients don't seem to like those drivers. This is the 215 event I'm getting on the Win 7 clients:

I've tried adding Additional Drivers but you need an INF file to do this which I don't have and the Universal driver that does have an INF and should work on the Win 7 64bit clients doesn't want to work!
Any help or advice greatly received.
Thanks
